Hi,

I am currently trying to find information regarding the Brockbank family.
The only information I know regarding Harold and his family is very limited.
He married May I Grinstead in 1941 in Maidstone, Kent.
May was born in 1918, Maidstone, Kent. I am not sure when Harold was born or even where.
They had a daughter called Hilary. She was born in 1942, Maidstone, Kent. As far as I know, Hilary was an only child. Please mistake me if I am wrong.

Harold lived at Home Farm, Linton Park, Linton, Maidstone in the late 1940's and early 1950's. He later lived at Garden House, Linton in the 1960's.

If anyone could help me with any information regarding Harold or his family, it would be much appreciated.

I would really like to know where he was born and who his parents were.

Thanks,

Tasha

The certificate should tell you how old he was then you can look for a birth around that time
