I think from what my dad can remember he thinks it was either Wednesfiled, Bushbury or Low Hill. This is still in Wolverhampton but he thinks it was Low Hill. Sorry to be vague but my dad is nearly 80 and cannot remeber things.

Thanks for your help.

I have the feeling that Ann is actually trying to find Ronnie in person wherever he is today.

Can you please make it clear exactly what you are trying to find Ann?

I guessing now he was reg as Ronald .if so that the name you should use for searches, Has Ronald passed .if so deaths after 1984 are indexed so easier to find and they show the date of birth as given by the informant on the death cert. If he has and you know approx when & where it may be possible to find the death and work backwards. This wont be on Free BMD tho so needs a look through the subs sites

What are you trying to find out, Ann?

Its a free site that gives the GRO refs which you will need to buy certificates from The general Register Office. Its still work in progress but volunteers are now transcribing records for the 1920/30,s
go to www.freebmd.org.uk and span down the page to the red box search ,click on it and then follow the search boxes. sometimes less is more with the info you put in and also dont put too large a time span in the search ,you can always do several block searches .
Try it for this search good luck
