Family History Beginners Board / How to find parents?
« on: Wednesday 15 June 11 08:45 BST (UK)  »
My ggg grandfather was married in 1835 in Newcastle Upon Tyne and died in Australia in 1860. His death certificate shows parents as "Unkown". I believe he was born in Berwick Upon Tweed in 1802 but have yet to be able to prove this.

My online searches has so far not shown a birth or baptism for Peter Purves (Purvis).
Any suggestions on how to trace his birth/baptism would be much appreciated.
