Hi ,
I wondered if anyone had any ideas on this one.
I am looking for a David & Brian Norton well that is if their mother married my grandfather. They were born between 1937 & 1945. I have just become aware of them and wondered how to find them on the bmd index's as they might not be named Norton.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Zoe

I know I don't have much hope but thanks so much for your reply.

I've been doing it quite a while.

I'm no good at census and back beyond that but I do enjoy looking through the bdm qtr by qtr.

That's why I like findmypast.

I'll look out for you again.
