Joseph Henry Thomas COMPLETE

[anneymouse]

Wondering if anyone here could give me some direction, I know the above details are correct about my grandfather, but I haven't a clue what his father/mother were called.  I know his parent's weren't married when he was born, and his father was Italian.  Any guidance welcomed gratefully

The birth certificate should at least give his mother Apologies if you have already been down that road

Thank you so much for your reply   Would I have to visit these register offices to see the full certificates?  I haven't been down that road, I have a copy certificate for him, but it is a short one which doesn't contain any details.  Thanks again for your help.

Thank you so much I have just managed to order my grandfather and my grandmother's online.  Thing is, my grandmother's family all emigrated from Spain to Wales, you would think the name Pura Trancho would be easily searchable, but I am drawing blanks there too.  I can't wait for the certificates to arrive!

Thanks for your welcome too, fascinating stuff this!

Hi Anneymouse

I am sure if you post the details when the certificates arrive some kind rootschatter will be able to help..

So you know when the family came from spain to wales??

Angie

[anneymouse]

I will post them as soon as I get them

I have no idea, at first I thought my grandmother was born in Spain, and my grandfather born in Italy, but it turns out that it was their parent's who crossed the sea, and they were both born in Wales.  I've googled Spanish and Italian migration and didn't really find anything specific
