I found where my parents were married and have emailled to see if they have grandmother maiden name and place of birth for grandparents. Any ideas as I haven't any living relatives left to ask

1932 ADAMS JOSEPHINE JOYCE F WHITBURN /WEST LOTHIAN 673/01 0066

Geraldine once again unfortunately you are not giving the facts ... you say you found where your parents were married but you don't tell us where that is ... and nobody can help without the actual facts

who did you email to see whether 'they' have grandmother's maiden name and place of birth for grandparents ??

if your parents were married in Scotland then you need the certificate which should give both of their parents' names

but it won't show their parents' place of birth

if they were married in England it would show only their own age and fathers' names (and occupations)


edit - they were married in 1955 in England, is that right?
I don't know who you would have emailed to get information ... all you can do is order their marriage certificate which should tell you their fathers' names is all



I posted this

John Adams married a Josephina in West Lothian in 1929

and I worked out that it was John Adams and Josephina McDermott

did you consider that marriage to go with the 1932 birth of Josephine Joyce Adams who married in 1955?

for the 1932 birth - which will tell you the names of Josephina Joyce Adams' parents - you need to order the birth certificate (not available on line) from scotlandspeople


you really do just need to answer questions and acknowledge things people say :-)

OMG Shirley found her. how did she do it. My mums DOB is 10/06/1932. How do I get a copy of the birth Certificate. Thanks so much to Shirley

Sorry details I have are
Josephine Joyce Adams born 10th June 1932. Parents John Adams coal miner and Ina Adams. Not sure where they were born but born about 1905. Siblings John, James, Joseph, Elizabeth and Marion. Theres about a year between them. Thanks so much for all the help.

hi geraldine

you need scotlands people its pay per view

you can order it from here

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Geraldine

You need to buy some units for Scotlands People website then use one unit to find the ref I posted AND then order her birth cert through the site

They used to be £10 but dont know if thats still the same price .

The cert will then be posted too you . Have only bought one cert through them and mine took 10 days from when I ordered it

and I will place my bet that the mother of Josephine Joyce Adams 1932 will be shown to be Josephina McDermott ...
