Hi, Can anyone tell me how i could find the maiden name of my grandfathers mother. His name is Joseph Thomas, his father was Arthur Charles Thomas and he married a woman called Esther. Esther was born in 1884 but that is all i know. Any help would be appreciated. Mand

Maiden name would be on Joseph Thomas' birth cert or Arthur Thomas' marriage cert. Where were these people born?

The marriage that Louise found sounds quite promising then. I looked on Family Relatives and there were 2 Thomas children listed with a mothers maiden name Anders. Ethel E December 1912 Prescott 8b 1485 and Frank 1916 Prescott 8b 1306. Of course the fully transcribed section only goes up to 1920, so your Grandad would just miss it. Chrissie

And there's a Joseph in Oct-Dec 1922 Prescot 8b 1345. Maiden name Anders. Seems like a good bet to me:))
