Hello all,
Having successfully traced my Scottish family back as far as seems possible at the moment, I feel its now time to pay some attention to my Grandmother's elusive family. She was Elizabeth Jeanette Hadlow, born in South Shields on August 9th 1936, and her parents were John Hadlow and Mary Bailey. Sadly, my Grandmother died shortly before I was born and I know very, very little about her family. She married my Grandfather, John Cameron MacMaster in 1955, I forget the exact date.
I'm very familiar with the Scottish resources and records available, but I'm less familiar with whats available when it comes to the English records. I would ideally like to find out more about Elizabeth's parents, but am unsure where is best to start. Can any kind soul point me in the right direction? Any advice etc would also be gladly welcomed!
Many Thanks,
Ceitidh.

Thank you all, I have found a highly likely marriage and have sent away for the certificate, fingers crossed! As for the young John Hadlow shown on the 1911 census, I think its very possible that its who I'm looking for, but I will have to wait on the marriage certificate arriving to clarify.
I'm so used to being able to access birth, death and marriage certificates at the click of a button, I must say its a little bit more exciting waiting for something to come through the post!
Many thanks again, hopefully this will all lead me in the right direction.

Well it seems I was barking up the right tree after all! The marriage certificate confirmed that the John Hadlow on the 1911 census was most definately the one I was looking for, and I am steadily working back through his family. This should keep me going for a little while anyway!
Thank you all for your help and suggestions,
Ceitidh.
