Find Ancestors

Really new to this game so here goes........
My Dad 'Reginald Frank Trigwell' known as Frank Reginald Trigwell, was born (1915-1971) to a Lilian Trigwell (born 1896) - He was born out of wedlock.
I can find no info on Lilian (Lily) Trigwell or who fathered my dad Reginald Frank - theres lots of info regarding brothers, sisters aunts & uncles etc, but nothing on Lilian or the father.

Anybody know anything about a Lilian Trigwell?

A 'Lilian Trigwell 'seems to have been born in Australia (one years birth difference), but still waiting for a reply

if anyone can help - please feel free - ray t

Hi Where was your father born? Do you have his birth certificate to see if the fathers name is on it?

This is a birth for 'a' Lilian trigwell - no guarantees its yours.

How do you get all this info so quickly?

Hi,

I had an illegitimate birth in my line and looking through court records I managed to find the mother taking the father to court for money, this then gave me the name of the father.

Teresa

That all ties up with my info, but what ever happened to her after that i.e. when did she die, did she ever marry, were there any more children etc.

It's all on ancestry.co.uk and freebmd sites
