Hi,
I'm trying to find my great grandparents. They lived in the Middlesborough area perhaps Redcar. Their children were Major b.1910, Wilf, Eileen and Babs. I know Smith is a very common name but any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Cath

If you buy one of the children B/C it will give you parents names & also the Mums maiden name

At least they had the sense to call a son Major! If you get his birth cert you will have their names:

Births Sep 1910 (99%)
SMITH Major Middlesbro 9d 642

Jan

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham

I think these are Major's parents - specified him as other household member:

HOUSEHOLD SMITH ALICE F 1887 24 Middlesbrough Yorkshire North Riding
HOUSEHOLD SMITH ERNEST M 1880 31 Middlesbrough Yorkshire North Riding

Jan

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham
