Do you have your birth cert, your parents' marriage cert., their birth certs? Once you have those you can construct a tree of at least 3 generations. Then you can work back.
Are you aware that living people should not be mentioned on this site?

What you have written is pretty general, so I would not worry. If there is anything unacceptable a moderator will deal with it. This is done to protect people in these days of identity theft etc.
If you do not have your parents' marriage certs., it is easy enough to acquire them. Then if their parents are no longer alive you can post names, dob's etc.
Welcome to Rootschat by the way!

Thats my granddad (gilbert),but it seems that Charles was also called Karl.Apparently we had a watch maker in the family from Ireland ( Cork i was told ) he was called Karl.Thanks for the information,i will have a go with that info and see what comes up.I think the bit i am going to struggle with is my mothers side,very limited on family i,e father not known.Thanks again.

Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat.
I think this is the reference for your grandad Gilbert's birth:-
Sep 1902
Gilbert Thomas
Manchester 8d 250
I think his actual birthdate is 27 Sept 1902.
and I think his parents were Walter Thomas/Martha Metcalfe and they were married at St Andrews Church, Ancoats on 7 Nov 1899.
If I have this information correct and I am not sure yet, it will confirm that your great grandad was from Cork and he was a watchmaker.
I am going to send you a PM with some more information.
