Help with finding grandparent names?
« on: Thursday 09 June 22 08:52 BST (UK) »
Hiya!

So, I'm currently doing some research for my step father's family as hoping to print it out as a present for him however am stuck in two places on his mothers side for his grandparents - I just can't seem to find these records so I'd appreciate any help you can give!

His mother is Valerie Constance Lloyd DOB1935 and grandparents are Arthur Harold Lloyd (DOB 05.11.1900 in Cheshire) and Minnie Hughes (DOB 06.1901 Cheshire) - They married in 1919 in Runcorn.

I can see that his grandfather Arthur's parents were Arthur Lloyd (Circa 1877, Cheshire) and Sarah Newport (Married Arthur 1897) and have them in census records post marriage however I can't seem to find Arthur's parents names or narrow down as his name isn't very uncommon pre marriage :/ Is there any way to do this without buying a marriage certificate?

The other side was Minnie Hughes parents - I can see her mother's maiden name was Spragg and found some siblings (Joshua Caleb Hughes 1893; Samuel Hughes 1897, Charlotte Hughes 1899; Jonathan Hughes 1904) however I can't seem to find these names together in any census records - so therefore have been unable to track what her parents names are!

Let me know if you need any more info - Thank you!
