My Half Uncle
« on: Tuesday 27 October 20 10:50 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the name of my Half uncle to add him to the tree. His mum was my nan called Jessie Biddle and my Dad is Colin Edge. Literally at a dead end until the DNA results from ancestry come back.

Welcome to Rootschat.  :)

If the people mentioned in your post are still living you must delete their names; there is a "no living persons" rule in this forum.

If the birth took place in England/Wales you can look for a possible birth by using freebmd.org.uk.

Welcome from me too  :)

If the birth took place in England/Wales you can look for a possible birth by using freebmd.org.uk.

Do you know if your nan was married before your Edge grandfather? If not look for births with surname Biddle with mother's maiden name the same. If she was then surnames of that first marriage with mother's maiden name Biddle. You can find out if she was married before by obtaining the marriage certificate of her and your Edge grandfather. [this would cost about £11 from GRO.gov.uk] but your family might already have it.   

As nanny jan says, you need to remove any names of living people from your post. To do that, in that post, click on 'Modify' at top right & remove the names.

ADDED:
DG - not sure Alyssa will be able to get personal messages yet? I see there is an email option under Alyssa's name....

Alyssa, to get your personal messages you need to have made 3 posts, just reply twice to this thread.

I think Alyssa needs to make 2 or 3 posts before the PM system opens.

We also need details of where and when, even a rough guess, the birth took place.
