lesley welcome to genes, if you have his name and place of birth thats a good start , you can apply for his birth certificate or death certificate, which should give other family members on that.

hi lesley its hard when you first start, we usually use this room for talking about anything as you can see, and genealogy for questions, the reason its best only to ask the same question once is it stops others looking when the answer has been found, your very welcome to chat on here to your hearts content, its nice to have a new face, i will pull up a thread if your new, you could chat amoungst us and hopefully get help alsong the way. xxxx :-D

P&D

Didn't you notice the info that the man didn't apparently die in England /Wales.......so the gro is NOT applicable

i only sighned upto this site yday so really dont have a clue what im doing, all im asking is for some advice or some help. if you dont like my thread then im sorry but im in a desprate state to find him, any advice given i will be so thankful and greatful but really dont know where i should be posting.

oh and there are people who use this site have info on scotlands bmd, cant see anyother way of helping but since your so quick flick i will leave you to it :-D

Some of the comments on this thread are enough to put new members off looking for help. Just remember you were new to this too once and try to be patient please :-)

If he died in Scotland you need Scotlands People website which is pay to view,

For a death in 2002 you cant view the cert but once you find the ref on the site you order the cert through them .costs £10 each cert

Once you bought the birth cert , hope you took note of the ref ,then you will know his parents names and can look for them too on Scotlands People.

lesley love dont worry, the reason i was asking for a year of death was so we could work out what year he was born, another way of doing it was he defitatley born in london, bare with me i am a bit slow memory probs, im sure someone will help, what you could do is delete this and ask on genealogy, there are lots on there that know what there doing, let me know if you find him good luck. :-D

if im write shirley you get a lot more info on the scottish certicates.

Yes Puss, Scottish certs give loads more info , births show when parents married as well as their names . Death certs show maiden name for a woman and certs too show where born , if the informant knew of course
