We think we might have a breakthrough. With the kind assistance of a RootsChat member we think we've established that we had the wrong year of birth for my Maternal Grandfather. We now think we have found his death record in the index so we're planning to order that an see where that takes us. It's possible that my Mother may be noted on the certificate which would establish her new surname if she married.
That's exactly how I found out my relative had been married as I mentioned in an earlier post.
If not your mother on the cert.................she may have had siblings & one of them was the informant so either way it would be a help & hopefully not registered by a stranger (from a care home or such) which I've had & is a dead end
