It may not be your guy - but worth hanging onto just in case.

Its always possible your grandfathers mother was the one who was Native American Indian - although often it turns out there isn't any connection at all and it might be some other ethnicity altogether! Family tall tales and all that!

He had a brother named Terrence who as far as i know died young in the army. His father was either Elias or Lewis Elias Anderson.
I am going to order the birth certificate and will send you a message when it arrives. Thanks alot, your help is much appreciated.

Tell you what - if you order the birth cert and PM me when it arrives and I'll see what I can do to help further.

I'm not having much luck finding a Native American Elias Anderson on the US censuses - did your grandfather have any older siblings?

I have asked my gran for information but she is very vague. Only likes to tell me what she chooses. Since I started looking up my tree, I found out...my gran was dissowned by her family beacause my grandad was not fully white...he was in borstal when my mother was born and I have an uncle who was adopted at a few months old.
So my gran is not really keen on sharing information with me in case I find out anything else ha ha.

I also must point out that I think MacCloum might be a mistranscription on the registers as running searches for that name is pretty fruitless!

Hopefully once you get the birth cert you will have more to go on!

Yes shirley, I think it is him. I know his father was North American Indian so if he had just come to the country, he could have started off anywhere. Just know he lived in Bradford up until he and my gran split.

It would be worth asking your Gran as much as you can about his family - such as when did Elias die? What was his wife called etc? I cant stress enough the importance of asking as many living relatives as possible - especially before its too late! All my grandparents died before I began my research so I've not had that luxury!

Lisa just because he lived in Yorkshire doesnt mean he was born there, East Retford is Nottinghamshire and Retford is about 34 miles from Pontefract so its within an nearly local journey.

Its 60 miles from Bradford so still within a journey ride.

Your grandads birth must have been reg and i would say this is most probably the right one

Yes I will do that, thank you. The date of birth you gave me is correct, I asked my gran and its the same day as my uncles birth so its definately him. I am just trying to find any relatives as we all live in Newcastle now so its a bit harder.

Well if he died in 1996 in Pontefract - then the birth I found register in 1938 is pretty certain to be him. It may be that his parents were from America - worth getting his birth cert to confirm both parents names and double check the date of birth - hopefully it should be the same as the date on the death record.

Thanks alot. I dont know anything about his family so didnt know where to start my search! I know he had North American Indian decent but I was told he was born in this country. It could be him you have found, I will look into it.

Sorry Lisa - but the death ref I found is the only one for a Lewis Leonard Anderson in Pontefract - it gives his date of birth as 28th Nov 1937 - his birth was registered in the next year - 1938 - the details that Andy and I posted - in the Jan/Feb/Mar Quarter of 1938 - common for children born towards the end of one year to be registered in the start of the following year.

It gives his mother's maiden name as MacCloum.

He may well have lived in Pontefract area for many years - but not necessarily have been born there.

Thanks alot Mrs T. I will try looking for later years but to be honest I cant find anything apart from his death and marriage. Is there any reason his birth might not have been registered?

That is his death reg in 1996:
