The only way to be ABSOLUTELY sure that you have the correct parents is by buying the borth certificate for one of the children.


Then buy the marriage certificate to find the names of their fathers.



There is no short cut that may not end up with you getting things very wrong.




£7 is not a lot to pay to be sure that you have the correct ancestors!!
