Reading Family

[baggsy]

Hi Im a newbie to all this so please be patient with me..!I apologise if im doing wrong..

Im am interested in looking up my Fathers family history/tree etc..not sure where to start, have very little info to go on at the moment, hoping my mother will come up with some added info soon, but her memory is not so good, and sadly my dad passed away without d telling us much about his family history  Hence trying to find out now..I want to start with my grandfather and work back to grt grandparents etc..It would be of some interest to my own grandchildren in time im sure, as well as me and my family

To start with i have my Grandads name and roughly when he was born, it being Stanley Primmer circa 1896 ish 7/8/9ish.. Born I believe in Reading, or around that area, had 2 brothers, one of whom was Arthur primmer not sure on the other..He married a Maud -"Hadley" (so it's believed) not sure on spelling though..and at a guess would be in 1920's or earlier.He died in 1949, ( july or august) apparently in his 50tys  Would appreciate if anyone can help or point me in the right direction as to how to tackle this.....Many thanks in advance

Looks like it might be stanley v primmer married to Maud m fisher,date about right as well, my grandmothers name was definatly Maud and seem to remember her middle name being Mary..which fits, her maiden name could have  been  fisher as Hadley was suggested by a friend of the family and a very hazy recollection at that!!  Nobody (aunts and uncles)2 still living but memory not to good, have ever mentioned anything about wiltshire  most are all berkshire born and bread...Oh ! and they had a daughter Olive (my Aunt) so that ties in as well  WOW She dies quite young in 1950's i guess

He is believed to have lived in prospect st reading shortly after being married, and then moved to Winnersh in the 20s?30s finaly living along the Oxford rd, where he died, my grandmother, continuing to live there till she died in the 80's

Thanks for info though fascinating  but where do i go from here..?
