Hello Marie Celeste. Thank you for your reply.

I am trying to verify whether my g/grandfather and his family are connected to my grandfather. I have no information relating to my grandfather before 1949, the year I was born. All I have is his passport dating 1966 and his 'Continuous Certificate of Discharge' book for the periods 1921 - 1923 when he was a merchant crewman working as a steward. I have no address/es from his birthdate to 1932. I am relatively new to researching my family history so I am 'floundering' a little at the moment.

Many thanks Linda

Hello Linda, what sort of link are you trying to establish?

Are you trying to find other members connected to him, or are you trying to verify information you've found?

I am trying to trace a possible link to my grandfather, William, born 1892, Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire. If my search is correct, then I believe that my grandfather would have siblings, Mary Hannah born 1879 ish, Thomas born 1884 ish, Evelyn born 1899 ish. His mother may have been Hannah born about 1860, possibly the second wife of my g/grandfather also called William born about 1857 at Cleakheaton Yorkshire. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who may have some information.
