getting a little personal here

Amanda's parents are living? and may not want the details of their personal lives posted here

PricklyHolly and Amanda, I would delete the question and answer above about that subject

and also the info about their place of residence (including malyon's post on that subject)

and the info about the 1963 marriage of people who are likely living, immediately above


Amanda's parents are considerably younger than me (and many of us), and I know I would not want my personal life details posted on the internet

It would be lovely for you to be able to trace your family history Amanda.

I could post some possible Sutton/Hill marriages.......but at the end of the day, they are just possibilities.

I can only advise you to purchase a copy of your fathers birth cert, so that you know for certain who his parents were.

Is there no one in your family who can remember the names of your Grandparents Amanda?

There are several possibilities......you might have to send for a copy of your father's birth certificate for details of his parents.

The best place to order certificates in online here........

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Certificates cost £9 25p

Check out http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl & follow the instructions given earlier only this time select the registration district of Birmingham (1932 onw)

Although Freebmd is an ongoing project, it throws up 6 results (inc Dad) 1950-1970

The twin's name has been recorded as Janette Hazel

PricklyHolly

PricklyHolly Report 27 Feb 2016 17:13

I will PM you the birth details........Hazel is her middle name.

Hi Amanda

There is a Robert born 1966 Birmingham who has a twin sister Janette Hazel

Does you father have a twin sister?

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 27 Feb 2016 16:58

It helps enormously Amanda.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl is a free site to use and does show your father's birth reg. It would seem that he had a twin sister?

Using that site
Select Births
Surname - Sutton
Mothers name Hill

Add a wide year range - I used 1950-1970 which threw up a few more matches in the same reg district. There's a few more in West Brom, but unless you know differently, they could be from a different Sutton/Hill marriage.
