I am really stuck and having a prob I need some help with.

Hello everyone,

Since I last posted I have gotten a bit further down the track. I now have birth certificates for my grandparents and there marriage certificate. I have a problem though trying to get further back in my grandmothers family. I have so far there names and while going through family stuff from Grandads belongings after his death we have found amongst them Nannas parents marriage certificate.  I am having a major issue though trying to locate information on there births and deaths.

So from what I have so far.

Nanna: May Olive Joesphine Bush nee Martin born 6/11/1915
Her Mother: Eliza Martin nee Fowler
Her Father: Joe Martin

Joe and Eliza Married 4th August 1905
The marriage Certificate says Joe's father was William Martin and Eliza's father was a William Fowler the witnesses are Elizabeth Fowler and William Fowler
This all happened in the Parish Church of Bramley in the County of Southhampton.
This is all I have so far I have browsed everywhere I just cant figure where to go next I am not sure if I am even on the right track now.
If someone could help I would be very greatful.

Also what can I gain from ordering Death certificates is there anything aside from there causes of death that helps with anything I trying to stick with a bit of a tight budget.

Regards Lecat35

Hi

I have spotted Joe in Horsell (I used to live there  ) on a couple of census so will post the details.

The census say he was born Chobham, Surrey which is 'next door'
