Chris,

The only way to find out the father is to obtain a copy of birth certificate.

Jellis is correct. Not many relatives unfortunatly so it's been a nightmare to verify. Thanks guys. Made my day.

Thanks guys, here is what I know.

Elisabeth Maude Barber
Born: 08/12/1937 Place: Unknown
Died: 05/11/1998 Place: Farnham Surrey

Mothers maiden name is thought to be Barber as she reverted to it after being to married to a chap name Cox.

Her Mother was born in August 1886 in Basingstoke. I have more on her mother if you need it.

Thanks again.

Howdy,

I am struggling to find any record of my Grandmothers birth, which I need to help shed light on her father. I have checked everywhere I can find on the net without success. Is this 'normal'?
