Hello all, I am desperately trying to find info on my paternal grandmothes father.
My grandmother was born in 1912 in Amcotts, THorne nr Crowle in Lincolnshire to William Rose Bradley and Ada Martin. I have that from her birth certificate but cannot after hours find any link to William or Ada. They may not have come from Linconlshire.
Any information would be greatfully received

Thanks in advance
Richard

I recieved your pm ,have sent you one back.
Why do you think that Ada is illegitimate?
This would appear to be her with parents,going on where she says she is born on 1911 census.

Of course the best thing to do is buy her marriage cert to william and then you will know for sure as it will have her fathers name on it,,,hopefully.

Sites to use

Ancestry,which you can take a 2 week free trail on and use 24/7 til you cancel the day before your time is up,or you can pay a yearly sub or a monthly one which you can cancel at anytime.(the one I am with]
or
Find my past,,,pay per view or yearly sub.

Familysearch,,,free,but mostly earlier records,baptisms etc. and only 1881 census which is free everywhere.

Freebmd,,,as it says,,free to search for bmds and an ongoing project with more being added all the time.

GR is not good value for money on records in my opinion,but has a brilliant community,as you see.

Cant think of anymore at the mo,but I think that has covered most.

on 1911,,William Rose Bradley says he was born in York,and a Farm labourer

There are an awful lot of William Bradleys to choose from in 1901,none with the birth area of York it would seem,well I cant see one.
And each image will need to be opened to see the occupation on Ancestry.
Again your best bet is the marriage cert to Ada for his fathers name and occupation,,hopefully on it.

Then you will be certain and not go barking up someone elses tree instead of your own.

We know that william married Ada,, so the other couple on here will have married each other.
They just happen to be on the same page.

And if you keep pming me instead of talking on here I shall send you to Coventry.

After you get the marriage of william and Ada if you need more help come back here,leave a " more help please " message and some softie will answer no doubt!
Please do not start another post on this family as all the info people need is here.

Do you know how and where to buy certificates for £7 online?.
That is not saying you are daft or owt,but I had to ask how a few years back as I hadnt a clue
And look at me now,,not much better.
