Rose,

I have been grateful for your help but this is a different thread!

I have ordered my Nan's marriage certificate as you suggested and am waiting eagerly for it to arrive, however that won't help me so much with her Mum's details (as far as I can tell), only her father's. From what I gathered from yourself and others, the marriage certificate will tell me her Father's name and my Gandad's father's name, but that doesn't tell me anything about her Mother so I created this thread to work along this line as well.

Thank you for your help.

When you receive the marriage cert, and find out the father's name, you will be able to look for his marriage to the mother. That will identify the mother...........

Oh, I presumed it would be a more certain way to order both certificate's as I struggling to find a record of my Nan and Grandad's marriage, hence my asking for help!

I thought if I ordered both I would be less reliant on other people helping me out on this site, as I am sure they are all busy people :)

Take it one step at a time Kirsty. I know it's difficult but wait for that marriage cert to arrive to check dad's name and then go from there. Don't rush things.

It does get a bit easier when you're back before 1901 as you will have the censuses to help a bit as well.
