I'm just wondering if any one can help me as I am new to this. I have my Grandmothers birth cetificate so i know her parents names but I am not sure now how to search for any of my Grandmothers brothers or sisters. Does any one have any tips. Thanks Gail

if your grandmother was born after 1911 when you search the birth index it gives mothers maiden name, which is often a good starting point. sandra

if you know her parents where married before 1901 and had children before that date - search the census

Thanks for your replies Gail

If you think they were alive and married in 1901 , post their names on here and we'll see if we can get you started. a name or two and some idea where. what are the detail from the birth certificate?

I think in 1901 my great grandmother would not have been married yet, she may have been in her early 20s in 1913 I have her address for when my Grandmother was born - 49 Sun Street, Bradford - but I cannot find number on any of Bradfords maps. My Greatgrandmother was Elizabeth Flynn (Conroy), marries to William Flynn. All i know about her was no she could not read or write! Is it possible to go to the church for that area and look through their records? Thanks

Was Elizabeth born in Bradford - there's an 8 year old and a 9 year old Elizabeth Conroy on the 1901? Debby

Elizabeth Conroy was born in Bradford and this wuld be about the right age for her. How would I find out the details for this? Thanks Gail
