help to move forward please - I'm really stuck!!

[LittleLondoner]

Hi,
I am trying to work back on my grandfathers family tree, but have become totally stuck at his grandfather and don't know how i move on from here.
I want to get his birth certificate or even his marriage certificate, but have searched and have found too many options as I'm not sure where he was born or what his wifes name was. How do i narrow it down?

The things I know;
name - James New
son - Frederick George New b Sep 12 1888 married an edith clara cooper 5 Apr 1913. At time of marriage Fredercik George his son was living in little Faringdon, Lechlade, Gloucester. Frederick George his son & wife later moved to Swindon Wiltshire.

What would you do next? Is there something I have missed?
Any help very gratefully received!!

OK - well, one step at a time.

If  the birthdate you have is correct for Frederick, then this looks like his birth registration: Frederick George NEW, Sep 1888 Midhurst 2b 379.  There is nobody else matching his full name registered in 1888 or 1889.

The certificate should, if it's the right one, give you a full name (possibly including any middle names) and occupation for his father James and a name (including maiden name) for his mother. These details will help you to progress further.

You could always get the birth certificate

Sept 1888
Midhurst 2b 379
Frederick George New

This would give father's name and mother's maiden name.  And would be a great help forward.

Hmmm...wrong name for Dad!

So now it's a question of how reliable the original information is - wonder if its source is Frederick's marriage certificate?
