Thank you yes it has to be with B grandparents which are grandad  is from Jordan grandmother from Essex.. same place as A mother and all of A family right back to 1800s I have there marriage cert and built there tree but with her brothers born 1920/ 30s is impossible to research them and impossible to research jordish records , but the names of B grandmother's brothers are not the name A mother said which was Norman,  a salesman tall and dark !!!! So it's sort of a impossible task as the biological mother bluntly refuses to give more info

She may be trying to put you off the scent.  Tall dark salesman has an air of the exotic about it.

Yes I know I thought that and so did A .. we also discovered A,s biological mother had another daughter in 1961 but biological mother denies she gave birth to A,s sister and said she let her friend use her name for both the birth and the  adoption of A,s sister  !!

I think that speaks volumes.  Whether or not his name was Norman, whether or not he was a travelling salesman, from what the two trees tell you it should be fairly straightforward to work out who his parents were.

Is the 1961 child said to have the same father and either way do you know anything about them?  Perhaps they or one of their children has done a DNA test which may help with triangulation.

You don't say whether A and B have uploaded their ancestry  DNA results to ftdna and gedmatch - worth doing if not.  Also I understand FindMyPast have just entered this arena too.

A HAS DONE  DNA with ancestry as I have and discovered she is approx 4th cousin to me and B done DNA through ancestry that's how I discovered him he is also a distant cousin to me A HAS unloaded DNA to my Heritage,  family tree gedmatch and also done 23andme DNA as I have also and on all sites nothing closer than 3rd cousin apart from B on ancestry her sister has not shown on any DNA site and I doubt if they share same dad ,, as the biological mother married in 1959 and was married when the other child was born in 1961 but the mother said her new husband told her something on her wedding night and she got immediate annulment..
