Births Sep 1908

Topp Kathleen Marion L Winchcomb 6a 396

You need your Nan's birth certificate to find her parents' names, then this will help to find their marriage.
That marriage cert will give their fathers' names and hopefully you will be able to find the correct family in census.

You can't presume anything in this hobby.

Gwyn

Do you have your nans mums name aswell? Do you have her birth cert? When was your nan born? Does she have a second name?

hi guys, sorry i'm all new to this and a bit rubbish with the info,
he is kathleen topp (my nan) father and she was born in cheltenham so i presume he was also born there

You must know more. You didnt pluck a name and date from the air!

Tell us how you came to this man through your research.

Have you looked for his birth on FreeBMD (free site)
