Hi just wondering, if its not too cheeky, for someone to do a look up for me???

I am looking for the birth in 1912 of a John Joseph Gilmore.

He is my maternal grandfather and I thought I had found him only to find out later I was 10 years out!!!

I would be eternally grateful if anyone could help with this.

Thanks alot

No John J Gilmore born in 1912 England & Wales.

I looked in the FULL birth index on Ancestry.

Have checked 1913 too...still nothing!

Maybe he was born before his Parents Married?

Did he have any siblings - perhaps we can find their births and see if they were born in a common area? ie Leeds!

Thanks for looking, maybe he was born elsewhere.

His marriage certificate shows he was 28 in 1940.

I couldn't find anything on free bmd, maybe I am not looking properly.

Sorry for delay, my mum rang!!!!!

wow you've all steamed ahead whilst I was on the phone!!

Sorry don't know about any siblings he was my birth mothers dad, my birth mum died when I was 6 months old and my dad doesn't talk about these things.

he may have been 28 when he married but depends what time of year that was ,he may have been coming up to 29 making his birth 1911.
The marriage cert will give his dads name which you can use as a check point if you buy that 1911 birth cert. there isnt another one showing in the full records so i would say its likely to be him

Hi Teresa

Sorry, don't know when he died, its all a bit hard because I don't know of any living relatives.

Gerri with regards to the date on the marriage certificate is was 26th October 1940.
