Completed - Robert Bentley
« on: Monday 08 September 08 17:22 BST (UK) »
I am tracing my family tree and have information on grandads side: george Leslie bentley born west derby, 1923

Apparantly he had a brother called Robert Bentley

Who married a lady called Brenda and a last known address is 12 sandals road Baildon, Bradford.

He worked/owned a wool mill.

Anyone got any relevant information for me? Thank you

Have you looked on FreeBMD?

George Leslie's birth is there. If you use the same mothers maiden name and district, you will see there are two sisters registered.
you will need to go through the full indexes quarter by quarter (available on pay to view sites or probably at your local library) to check out for a Robert.

Not sure what info you are wanting - are you trying to trace backwards or to find living rellies (the latter is more for a site like Genes Reunited I would say, rather then this one)

yes...

my grandad said his dad had a brother called Robert and he got married to a lady named Brenda and the last known address he has for Robert is 12 sandals road, Baildon, Shipley

Robert owned or ran a wool mill in Bradford...

This so far is all i know about his Uncle Robert Bentley.

Thanks for your help

I would say your next move would best be to get a copy of that mariage cert - will give you his dad.
