Thankyou all for the information given.
Can anyone tell me how to look for family history ,events etc from the 1901 census and the present day?
Finding out about family history is what i want to do.
I dont really have anyone to ask anymore through the family, I knew William as he was my grandad and I know at one time he worked in the coal mine like his father for a while but not sure which one.Then he moved to London in the 1940s
Also how do find if any of your relatives fought in WW1 and 2..
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very gratefull.... Thanks again
