This looks like your Great Nan marriage.

You need to look for the births of your grandads siblings either in freebmd or qtr by qtr on ancestry or findmypast.

Hi Its Laura again,

On the otherside of my tree where i am stuck is my grandads Harold George Matthews (16.10.1930) dad and mum. My grandad was split up with his brothers and sisters when they were young and have not spoken since.

I would love to tell my grandad i have made contact or at least know a bit more on his mum and dad and siblings.

My great nan is Ada Louise Bailey i have only the years c1892 and Ernest James Matthews c1876.My Grandad's siblings are: FREDERICK, THOMAS, RONALD, LESLIE CYRILL, PHILLIP JOHN AND LILLIAN DAISY MATTHEWS.

My grandad also remembers an Uncle Lotty who was a gamekeeper at Wilton Housein Guilfordm or Wiltshire and also an uncle William who was a caretaker at Elmwood Hall.

This is all i have on my grandads side and have no idea where to look?

Laura

I think my Ernest died in 1936, Ada Louise and Ernest Matthews are buried in Thorton Heath cemertry. They both i think come from SE London
