Gary I'm afraid that the info you would like is going to cost you both time & money.

Working backwards, this looks like Ernest's death

I can't begin to look for his marriage as I don't have the info but really you need his marriage cert to confirm his Dad's name

Then on to his birth which may be this one, again you'll need a cert for both his parent's names

As Claire says you will have to work backwards and order certificates to get the information you need,

but for future reference this could be Agnes birth

Thanks Gail, I was tracking them through Ancestry whilst you were on BMD.
I must be fair, no one warns you when you join this site, just how expensive & time consuming it's going to be!
