'nudging' is counter-productive, unless you add some explanation for doing so

tucker, you *have* posted a message on the living relatives board.

I don't recommend that myself, because (a) it just isn't going to produce any results, and (b) in this case and others it duplicates a post on Find Ancestors.

You should abandon all but one of these threads (stop posting in them!) and focus on one, although it doesn't seem that anyone has any more useful suggestions to make.

Since you know your grandmother's name (I don't suggest posting it here as she is likely living), you can search for her marriage and then for the births of children of that marriage (under the husband's surname with mother's name Blight), if you haven't, and that could give you useful info to follow up. Just looking for those names in the telephone directory (assuming they're not Evanses!) might produce results.

so what you mean is i should post a msg on the living relatives board? <3

Nudging is intended to bring a thread to someone's attention. Nudging w/o comment or info just fills up page 1 of the board. The various posts about the same thing are momentarily visible on the first page. They then just sink again.

I'd add re one of these threads that suggesting that someone try the living relatives board *and not refer to an existing thread* amounts to suggesting duplicate posting. ;)

whats a nudge?

nudge

my mother thinks she was from sebastipol which is in pontypool i think but born in cardiff!



my mother thinks she had a younger sister she was told this by someone......... my mams mam wasnt married having her. so her maiden name was blight which was my mams second name being born......... my mam was born in 1961 adopted in 1962... her mother was young having her so she may have been born in 1940-1946..... ive looked through birth records frm 1963 to see if anyones birth certificate says mothers maiden name blight found a boy michael carl blight 1974?? <3

Why do you think your Mother has a younger sister?
The first thing you need to do is to get your Mother's birth certificate.
Your grandmother may not have been born in Cardiff, nor may have married there, so the more information of facts that you have, the better.

I'm in Cardiff - there are just two Blight's in the present telephone directory

can you not use text speak

Can't decipher some of your posting, but would advise you to obtain your mother's birth cert for factual info

Do you know your grandmother's first name?

im looking for my grandmother her maiden mame was blight she had my mother in 1961 in cardiff i think... we think her mother was young so she was born mayb 1940_1946 and that my mam has a younger sister who doesnt have the same second name because there are no births for blight after the 70z so her mother may have married after 1962 cn ne 1 help kim <3 :D :-) :O
