Hi Aghadowey.Granddads date of birth was 18/12/1912.
I assume Eliza was my great grandmothers mother but not sure(have no idea!)

Christopher,this side of the family(g-grandmothers)has not been delved into by anyone in my family as yet.Trouble is we don't know where to start.

Regards.
Dowdy.

Grandfather's birth certificate should list both parents (if they were married). Their marriage will list names and occupations of both fathers.
If grandfather was born in 1912 you might be able to find his parents (probably with their families) in 1901 census.

The story so far..
I have grandfathers DOB,birthplace,parents names.

G Grandfathers birthplace and occupation,date of death.
G Grandmothers name, pre/post marriage.

Next would be where were they married and the date.
