Hi!!
Do you know how old your late Grandfather was when he passed away? Are there any remaining close relations to your Grandfather that you can speak to, your Grandmother or Great Aunts and Uncles perhaps? It's best to start your research within the family.

Please reply when you learn more, so we can try and give you more advice and guidance.

Ryan.

You're very lucky to know so much about your family, although you're not close to them, which is a shame :(

First of all, I noticed at http://www.GenesReunited.co.uk that a lady named Sharon has entered Stuart Edgar Alan Brooker born 1944 in Louth into the database. If you are unfamiliar with this lady you may wish to contact her but be aware, you must pay to use GR. It would be worth while :)

BMD records for the year in which Stuart was born are not freely available on the net, nor would the entry of George and Edith's marriage be freely available. You can visit http://www.1837online.com and pay for credits to search the surname indexes to find say, George's marriage to Edith circa 1944 however, if George was in the Armed Forces during the war they may have married earlier. I might also add that Brooker does not appear to be a common name in Lincolnshire, so the chances are that any Brooker births circa 1944 in Louth may very well indicate further offspring of George and Edith.
