Find Ancestors

All I have is mums birth cert her parents names and an old address tried tracing old address but found out they did not live there how do I get her parents DOB

what address is on the birth cert- can you start there or have you done that? i suppose to an extent it depends 'when' we are taliking about

Might need to get her parents marriage cert. May show their age at time of marriage. Rose

Hi Michael, If your grandparents died between 1984 and 2002 their death indexes will be on ancestry. On the index will be a date of birth, hopefully it will be about right! From that you should be able to find a birth index to locate the birth certificate. Thinking you might be quite new and not knowing if you've added to a thread before.........to add more information for us to try and help click on the 'add reply' above your message.

All I have to go on are the two names on my mums birth cert and an Address which led to a dead end my mum was 3 in 1932 I have no dates to go on

You need to search the marriage index for the marriage of the parents.........the cert will tell you how old each of them was at the time, together with the names and occupations of each of their fathers. You say you have no dates, but you've got the birth cert.........there's a date on that! If your mum was 3 in 1932, clearly she was born 1928/9, although the birth cert tells you that, anyway........look for a marriage which pre-dates her birth, and hope that the parents did things the 'right' way round!! Thus, you will be able to work backwards.......... Reg

Hi Michael, What are the two names on your mums birth certificate? Will have a look for a marriage.

Thanks for the offer The two names are GEORGE NETHERCOTT AND CHARLOTTE EVANS married before 1929

and in what sort of location? any idea? N S E or W cant see it 1928 there is a george Nethercott married in Romford in 1927 , but her maiden name is Cannon ( blurry)

Jess, the daughter was registered Qtr 1 1929 in ATCHAM. I think this is Shropshire.

mum was registered in atcham shrewsbury shropshire thats all I have

Michael, To clarify, does the birth certificate list the mother's name as Charlotte Nethercott formerly EVANS or just as Charlotte EVANS Also what occupation is stated for George Nethercott. Pete

Hello pete charlotte nethercott formerly evans george nethercott labourer

have just gave mum a phone call she remembers two older brothers being mentioned walter and albert nethercott both a lot older then her dead now from lincoln area both in the Army lincolnshire regiment ?? The thing is mum was placed in convent aged 3 so her past is a mystery

Mmm, Welsh surname and on the Welsh border? Not that that helps, just a thought for future census look ups.

Here you go Michael, took some finding ..........they were married a while before having your mum! Sept 1914. Nethercott, George. District Liverpool. vol 8b. Page 249. Wife Charlotte Evans.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP how do I get the DOB for both

Hi Michael, You need to get the marriage certificate which will have their ages at the time of marriage and their fathers names, from that you should hopefully be able to trace their births. You can order the certificate online at http://www(.)gro(.)gov(.)uk/gro/content/ REMOVE BRACKETS.
