hi guys - yes that is them - i have details of my grandfathers family - it is Emily Hankeys father that i am trying to find, just ordered her marriage cert - to see if there is anything on that - not holding my breath tho - as her mother was still single and at home on the 1911 census.

Even if she does name a father on the marriage cert, it could well be fictitious I'm affraid

ok thanks guys - Emily did marry - my grandfather - who was Charlie Hutchinson born Oldham Lancs 1911 but i only have his copy birth certificate and his fathers details as yet - have not requested the marriage certificate.
Guess I will never know who Emilys dad was. :(

As the father is not named, you can only research the maternal line

If you are sure Annie is Emily's mother, then on the 1911 census Annie is noted as single. If there is no father on the birth certificate, then you will probably not find one - unless Emily marries and names her father on her wedding certificate, but probably unlikely.

I am trying to find out details of my grandmothers relatives.
My grandmother was Emily Hankey - born 1905 in St Helens - I have found her birth record and her mother Annie Hankey 1879 Prescot - also other family members on the census but i cannot find out any details of my grandmothers father - i requested a birth certificate - but there are no details on that of the father - do i give up? or are there any other routes i can look down?
Any suggestions greatly received.
Many thanks :-S
