ErikaH Thankyou so much, I've been trawling through free bmd and managed to come up with grandchildrens names (which I knew) but also years of birth but without much to go on about William its been hard to know where to look, Brian is the son of Wm but doesn't know much about his dad to thats why I was asking on his behalf.
Thankyou once again, I'll go through what you've sent and try and put it into some sort of family tree shape
Regards
Margaret
