Help in finding a name?
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 14:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,
I am stuck again and need some advice.
I am trying to obtain the name of my grandfather’s brother however I do not know how to obtain this information.
At the time of his birth in 1922 my grandfather was living at the following residence so I presume his brother would have also been living there ;
The Green,Crockenhill,Eynsford,Kent
The only information I do have about my grandfather’s brother was that he was an older brother.
The surname would have been Clements
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Marcus

Do you know their mother's maiden name? If it's not too common then you can check for a birth registration (index) as mother's maiden names will be listed for that period.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

You will find the two earlier Clements children with mother's maiden name Turner by searching on FreeBMD (you can search just using the surname and mother's maiden name fields).  The 1917 one is female, the 1919 one is male so may be the one you are looking for.  They may still be alive (unless you know otherwise) so we don't post full names here but have given you the tools you need to find them for yourself.

Hope that works, but do let us know if you have any problems :)

Thanks - got the name.

Have been looking on BMD but couldnt be certain what i was looking for but i think the 1919 name could be correct.

Thanks again for the direction.

On the subject of the same person
Do you know how I could order a death certificate for him – I understand where to go to order the cert (GRO) however I have no information on the year he died or the location
Any advice?
Thanks,
Marcus

You could order the birth certificate to obtain the exact birthdate and full name including middle name - without that I don't know how you're going to be sure you've found the right person's death, unless you know something about his later life (e.g. where he lived) to pinpoint him.  Do you know anything at all about him, where he lived or whether he lived into old age?

There is a George Montague Clements, born 6 Nov 1919, who died Mar 1993 in Surrey North-western registration district, in case he's relevant.
