so when was your mum born ,Her birth cert will her mmn

Looks like John and Patricia had four daughters - is this correct Katie?

yeh my mum was born first in 1956 then my aunty judith then my aunt kathy then my aunt helen

SO your nan was Patricia Woodhead this ties with births found for Judith etc
If you get the marriage cert for Patricia and John this will give her age and her dads name so will help to go back further

i think my gran is about 73 my grandad died when he was about 76/77

So your grandma Patricia is still alive?? surely she will know her mum and dads names .or even your mum may know her grandparents names. I knew the names of my grandparents .

sadly we dont speak to my gran she thinks of her youngest child (aunty helen) before anyone else

Ah thats a shame, things like that often happen in all families though.
Doesnt your mum have any idea of her grandparenst names

rather than guess I think you will have to buy the marriage cert for Patricia and John and take it back from there

So you are on your own with this then As i said I would get the marriage cert and this will show their ages and both Dads names. I think a possible birth has been posted on here for Patricia and once you know her dads name you can use that as a checking point when you order the birth cert, I really dont think you will be able to be certain of ancestors without buying some certs to check .

thank you shirley for your help yes i have found my grandmas birth and stuff im going to be doing a lot of searching now for the Woodheads ha

sorry margaret got a bit carried away ha didnt mean that last post

but thank you guys for all your help if you have any more information please pm me or post it on here

also im trying to find out if my Grandma Patricia has any siblings

Well if you get her birth cert this will give her MMN and then we can search for others with the same surname combination.
