Thanks Mel, will do

Jan please let us know and we can look further for you.

Mel

Again, many thanks for help, I have ordered my Grandfathers Birth certificate

I thought the name Heighway was quite unusual but it seems there were quite a lot in Lancashire!!

Have looked on Ancestry trees for Nora, Marion and Arthur but not there.

There is a marriage of a Nora Heighway to a Robert Shaw in 1945 which would be about right for her age but could'nt be certain that it is her!!

Many thanks, will check it out :-)

sorry, glitch, posted reply twice :-D

Many thanks for your reply. unfortunately I don't have my late grandfathers birth certificate and my mom is also deceased, and I reside in South Africa. So unfortunately I don't have any first names for my great grandparents. how do I search on Freebmd? sorry I am very new to this.
