Just realised Gilian of course this is my nan-she is called Frances and my middle name is Frances after her! I need to do some searching for Sydney and Frances!

The birth cert is the best way to go........for accurate, and full, parental info

But, if you want to take a chance on Sydney and Frances.........try looking on freebmd for their births

And as I stated earlier, the death cert info should include your father's birthplace

You seem to know more about your paternal relations than your first post suggested......

Do you know when your grandparents died?

A Sydney A Dyer died 1966 Sep Q Cambridge which fits with Leslie's death
But I cant find a Sydney A Dyer born 1900 in that area -however there is an Arthur Sydney Dyer born 1900 Jan Q St Faiths Norfolk so amybe he swapped his names around
