Hi all and Thanks

I have searched on GR but no luck yet! His father's name was Joseph Bailey b c1889 and his mother Ann bailey b c 1894 in Birmingham. They married 4th August 1917. Je's father is William and mother Mary, anne's father is joseph.

I am not local to archives at the moment - but can get there but am thinking the brother could have a family name as my friend does.

Joseph's siblings are Thomas Henry and William John

Thanks

HI Kaz,

Is this research local to where you live?

I have been able to come forward with some lines in my tree by visiting the archives. Some records can be as recent as 1970.

Even found hubby's baptism on there lol...that was a bit weird though

Hi All

I have been trying to help a very dear old gentleman to trace his 'lost' family and I have been able to do so through his parents going back in time. Have his birth cert. his mum and dad's marriage cert. and have located his father on the 1891 and 1901 census.

However, my problem is the bit about coming forward in time - we know he has/had a brother born probably between 1917 (marriage) and mother's death in 1932. Who apparantly served in the Navy in ww2. And a last known address of his father in 1946. My friend was in a home then evacuated and lost contact.

Where should I go from here? I am inexperienced at this part and unfortunately don't have a christian name for the Brother!!
I would really appreciate any advice

Thanks

Kaz :o))
