Definitely the sensible approach

If you need further help when the cert arrives.........just use this thread, and put 'update' in the title

Never rely on hearsay........memories play tricks

If you check freebmd, you'll see exactly how many records there are for Harold Beney

Thanks for all this.

The reason I am using Harold is that members of the family seem to think that that was his name.

I'll see about getting birth certificates.
Thanks

The only Harold Beney on freebmd apart from your father was born in 1897..and died as an infant

ErikaH Report 12 Oct 2012 12:57

Why have you chosen Harold as the possible first name for your grandfather?

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 12 Oct 2012 12:55


The mother could have been married before...........these births were all shortly after WW1 ended

If Harold born 1921 is your father.....buy his birth cert, for full details of the names of his parents

Hi,
Our family thinks that our grandfather was Harold Beney, who had five children all registered in Battle or Hastings, Sussex. They are: Harold 1921, Ivy 1924, Kenneth 1927, Joyce 1929, Donald 1931. They all have a mother whose maiden name is Wood (and Harold is our direct ancestor).

I can't find Harold marrying a Wood (about 1920), and I'm wondering if his name was actually Harold. Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

Chris :-)
