Caroline An idea as to what year you are looking for would help. Also, one tip, Pleeeese don't write in upper case, it's so hard to digest the info. Margaret

Caroline, If you have dates why not just send these to the local register office where the birth or death took place (providing you know this). They don't need the index nos and they will tell you if they don't have the details. Marion

Have you looked for his marriage? If you could find this it would have something in the "fathers name" box - even if it is blank or unknown at least you wouldn't be any worse off! Unless you have actually seen his birth certificate, bear in mind that you only have someone's word for his age. It is always best to be flexible and search a good few years either side. Remember to check the census too if you can, or ask for a look-up. Good luck. Maz. XX

Have you tried IGI website? Can be useful but needs a lot of searching. May help you with others.
