I have searched ancestry free BMD From 1930 to 1955 and I can't seem to find my dads older brother and sister. I managed to find his brother george in 1933, but am unable to find Noreen or brian. Their surname is Bainbridge, Noreen was born about 1940, brian was born about 1944, mothers maiden name is Passmoor. Just can't find them!

Their from the durham area, and yes they are definatly the names, its what they've always written on my birthday cards. My day was born in 1950, his oldest brother (who died before my dad was born) was born in 1933, my aunt Noreen should be born around 1940 and uncle Brian 1944. All in durham, houghton -le-spring area.

are you sure Noreen was older than brian?

Jenna

Jenna Report 5 Mar 2006 21:15

I caont believe my dad doesn't know his own sisters birthday. Yes Noreen is older than brian, as she use to look after my dad and uncle when they were younger.

Jess Bow Bag

Jess Bow Bag Report 5 Mar 2006 21:19

so Noreen was born 1837 so brian is going to be nearer your dads age than Noreens~Yes?

Jenna

Jenna Report 5 Mar 2006 21:21

I would say there's about 4-5 years between my dad and his brother.

on ancestry, most years have one quarter missing for the name Bainbridge, i would check which quarters are missing and check the missing quarters on 1837 online

Jenna

Jenna Report 5 Mar 2006 21:51

I would look on 1837 but I'm skint at the moment so can't buy any credits. :(
