Edward D BRANT Died abt 1968 Devizes
« on: Tuesday 27 April 10 22:46 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any info on my great grandfather Edward D Brant. He was born in 1903 in Walsall Staffordshire.

We have no idea if he re-married or if he has other children other than my grandad Edward William Brant.

My grandad died in 1981 year I was born so anything I could of asked died with him.

If anybody knows anything please let me know...thank you

Hi and welcome to rootchat
There are tips for searching the 1911 census here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,355239.0.html

www.freebmd.org.uk is a useful site for finding births etc though it is not yet full coverage.  The full index is available on various paying sites.
Regards
Andrea

Hi and thanks for the info you provided...perhaps I was a little vague when I first posted as I didn't think anyone would reply...lol

Edward David Brant was married to my great grandmother Winifred M Buckle, this lady I cannot find anywhere in the 1911 census. My dad said she died in the 70's and is in an un-marked grave in Pershore Worcestershire.

Edward W (William) Brant was my grandad and he died in 1981.

My grandad and his father Edward D Brant fellout when my grandad was 16. His father moved away to Devizes Wiltshire to live on a farm in the 1940's and nobody within the family knew what happened to him. I found his death record and he died in 1968.

I keep meaning to see who regitered the death but haven't had the time to do so, but I am looking for people who may of known him in Devizes. I have been on many forums but thus far have found nothing.

Again than
