Have you tried entering names in the search facility at the top of the screen?

There is also the old-fashioned way - have you tried asking your parents about their siblings/parents? Their birth and/or marriage certificates would be a starting point. I'm assuming you know who your siblings have married?

What country are we talking about, as I can see no Randall/Gillies marriage nor children in England?

The forenames have a Celtic ring to them, in the main..........

Kirsty wasn't born in England or Wales.........

EDIT:

The country is SCOTLAND..........Gareth's birthplace was Edinburgh

My parents married in 1975, the 17th of April I think.
I havent tried freebmd.. what is that?
Corinne sadly i have no contact with any family member so basically am starting from scratch.
Patricia, my mum and dad married in Edinburgh, Scotland.. thats where me my sister Bronwen Gwynedd Randall and my brother Gareth David Randall were also born.
Am assuming that my father's other 4 kids Sian, Susan, Dereth and Mick were born in Swansea, Wales.
Many thanks

freebmd is no use for your search, Kirsty....the dates are much too recent

Are you saying that the children (not kids) born in Wales have a different mother?

Try looking in search trees - above the board in dark green - to see if anyone has these names in a GR tree.

Bear in mind that living people must not be added to a GR tree unless they have given permission.
