hi Gayna, and welcome here :-)
it's a little difficult to follow the story you have given us so I am just going to break it up to be more readable - it really helps if you use capital letters and punctuation and line breaks from time to time!

Now ... you seem to know a fair bit about your mum, so is it her family tree you are wanting to discover?
or are you not in touch with her other children and would like to find them?
or family of her brother maybe?
(since you have put this on the Living Relatives board)
just let us know what or who you would like to find and someone will help :-)

so your mum Annie first married in Rochdale in 1956
you and your brothers and sister were born there 1957 to 1969
this is your mum's death record
Name: Annie Davies
Birth Date: 25 Oct 1937
Date of Registration: Sep 1982
Age at Death: 44
Registration district: Rochdale
Inferred County: Greater Manchester
Volume: 39
Page: 0455
so this is her birth, showing her mother's original name
Name: Annie Wilkinson
Mother's Maiden Surname: Hulbert
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1937
Registration district: Rochdale
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8e
Page Number: 3
her brother Rodney was younger (he can be identified by having the same mother's name in the index) so I won't put details about him here as you haven't said (and may not know) whether he is living
but I think he is still living where he was born, click here to see some details
http://www.192.com/atoz/people/wilkinson/rodney/ol15/968199861/
but he doesn't seem to be in the telephone book
this is your grandparents' marriage
Name: Elsie Hulbert
Spouse: John Wilkinson
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1937
Registration district: Littleborough
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8e
Page Number: 143
you can find these records at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
to trace them any farther you would need to get their marriage certificate, to learn their ages and their father's names. John Wilkinson would be hopeless without that, and even Elsie Hulbert was a surprisingly common name.

Thank you these are the right details, I'm sorry when I written this but this is new to me,I'm glad you have found my grandparents for me I didn't even know their name.
I have found my uncle Rodney and his children and the rest on my mothers side, I would like to find out about my fathers side and find my brothers who I do know are still living but don't have much detail.
My mother passed away in 1982 I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused you .

I am trying to find my fathers ancestors too
But I know he was same age as my mother
I would like to know more about my grandparents too
As far as I am aware my father is still alive
I know he still lives in Rochdale
But I don't know were
Thank you

if your father is still living then we can't put information about him in this thread but anything found could be sent to you privately
in any case his name is a little too common to be sure of a birth for him ... with no middle initial, there are possible births 1934 Leigh and 1932 Manchester North for instance (the closest ones to 1937 except on in 1939 which would be a little late)
you can do these searches at
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
it's very easy, you can find the information I already put in your thread and the possible births for your father
have you tried the telephone directory for your dad ??
http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha
if you just search for Eaton in Rochdale you will see the one that may be him
that same person on the electoral roll was aged 60-64 sometime between 2002 and 2013 so that would seem to be a match (and has a partner)
not knowing how long it is since you have seen him it would be hard to advise about contacting him but that would give you the information to work with if you decide to
then hopefully you could find out more about his family from him
if not, then if you get a copy of your parents' marriage certificate it will tell you their ages and their fathers' names so you can research further back
you can order the certificate here once you have registered at the site:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
and this is the information you need for ordering it:
Name: Annie Wilkinson
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1956
Registration district: Rochdale
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 10f
Page Number: 947
you did contact Rodney with the info Fairthorn sent?
but you are still looking for your brothers and sister?
can you say when you were last in touch with them, were you children or do you know whether they married etc?
