You will find the Mother's maiden name on the bought birth certificate - it does not show on the free bmd information until after 1911.

Thankyou Pollypoppet,
I have seen this info and have merged it into my tree, i am looking for George Chaffer's father and mother as mothers maiden names are not listed on Birth Certs.

As you have some info already, you need to be more specific about what else you need so people don't duplicate what you already have.
