Additional Information:


You say he was your great-grandfather - so have you looked for his marriage to your great-grandmother?

His father's name will be on the marriage cert

Not sure why you're uncertain about the line - you must know the details of the grandparent you think was this man's child

Have you got the birth cert of that grandparent?

His name?

Year of birth?

His 'service' records should show much more than birth and death

You said .............

" I then looked up his service record which only showed when he was born and killed"

Where did you find this?

I have applied for birth certificates but am still confused, if there was another way i could cross reference whom his parents were by his service record or something, this would make it a definate match. Thanks again.

Hi, Just wondering can anyone out there give me any tips on where i could check out some details on whom my great grandfather's parents were. He was killed in WW1 , i have a photo of his service number which is recorded on his grave site on the cross, he served with the Norththumberland Fusliers, I then looked up his service record which only showed when he was born and killed, also his service record number which i knew was him by the photo i had, then the parish that he was born in which was Dorking , England but i was hoping that it would mentioned whom his parents were, this would really confirm that i am on the right branch of the Stanbridge Family i am doing. Some information that i was given to hand just don't seem to link up. I have tried the BMD site but am still confused. Hope someone could kindly help me out there, many thanks, much appreciated, Denise Stanbridge.
