Hi Glenys,

if you order your Nains birth certificate, that will give her father's (John) occupation. That may well help to identify him in the 1901 census.

The certificate will also give your nain's mothers name.

Once you know the mothers name, you can then order your nains parents marriage certifcate. This will give your nains mother's maiden name, her age and address. It will also give Johns age and address, and also the names of both brides and grooms fathers. Using this information, you should be able to identify them in the earlier census'.

I would order the certificates first, and once you have this info, post an update to this message, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you find them in the census.

Good luck

Hi Glenys,

if you know your Nain was there in 1910, then the chances are she will be there in 1901, together with husband and children.

I'm afraid I don't have access to the 1901 census, but perhaps someone else does and can look up the family for you.

Armed this information you will be able to find them in earlier census, and then order the certificates.

Regards,

D

Hi Glenys,

I realise you are trying to find out your Nains mothers name.

What you need though is your Nains birth certificate. You can apply to Llangefni RO  for it, as you already know your Nains name, her date of birth where she was born, and her fathers name. With her birth certificate, you will have your nains mothers name and maiden name.

I don't think there is any other was around it, you'll have to write to Llangefni and include a cheque for 7 pounds.

I would however phone them first to make sure they know which one it is you want.

Regards,

D
