I have searched for his birth in Hull in 1923 but cannot find it...do you know his mother's maiden name..

i dont know any other names on his side of the family other than his brother Fred Gibson,- and he married a lady named jessie.
My grandfather did marry twice , lillian (my grandmother) being his second wife, i do know he had children by his first marriage and second. but first part of his family was to be hush hush by my grandmother (lol) dark secrets eh

I have found this birth..

Tracey

Your grandfather was b1923...the birth index gives the mother's maiden name as Hirst...if this is the correct birth.

Do you know if his brother Fred was younger or older than Harold ??

Linda

oh gosh not sure sorry
maybe slightly older , wouldnt like to guess, i know he died before my grandfather he was born 1915

Doing your family history takes time and patience Tracey....believe me.

So long as you take it one step at a time...the most important thing at the moment is to find your grandfather's birth and to order the cert. This will tell you his parents names and then you go on from there.

Linda

well i have that , but i dont seem to be getting any further. just stuck now

maybe fred

Just do one relative at a time slowly.
