Andrea Report 11 Sep 2007 14:51

Trying to find details of my g. grandparents and further back. Thomas Buckley ( born 1877) was my g.grandad, but there are 2 Thomas Buckleys listed in the Mansfield area and also I don't know who my g. grandmother was. My grandads name was Wentworth Harold Buckley born 1903 in Mansfield area. Known to have several brothers and possibly a sister. May have had family in the Yorkshire area.

Any help appreciated.
Many thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea

You need to start with purchasing your grandfathers birth certificate. This will give you his parents names ( including his mothers maiden name) this well then enable you to search for their marriage certificate & find out their fathers names, their occupations & the ages of your Grt Grandparents enabling you to search the 1901 census.

Here are the details you need to order his birth certificate ( from the freeBMD web site )

Births Sep 1903 (>99%)
BUCKLEY Wentworth Harold Mansfield 7b 148


His death is also recorded on the site ( 1981)
