thank you for the warm welcome xx
im looking for Augustas charles hall, born in 1884, died 22 april 1956
also his wife Alice Martha willoughby born in 1885, died aug 20th 1958, i just cant find Augustas birth, probably in the berkshire area?
Also a puzzle on my paternal side is Frank Bright born sept 1911, died 12 dec 1969 but i cant find his birth details, it makes sense with his marriage in later years in york that he was born in weardale?
I want to go further back than this and im really getting into it now!! so a kick start would help thank you for any help xx

Karina, as you have this post also on Find Ancestors board, it may be as well to delete here and continue there, that prevents any one helping from duplicating info :-)

Karina, it may just be that you are putting too much detail in your search, eg a specific location, or date...as Kemp says put some details on here and we can check.

Can't help with GR records as I don't use them, Freebmd.org.uk is good as it is very easy to use, have you found them on the 1911 census?
