Hi I am trying to find out paternal Grandparents.
The only information that I have is that Thomas Mackenzie b 1910 married a Elsie V Smith. They come from the NE and Elsie reportedly died about 60 years ago from breast cancer. I would love to get the GRO numbers so I can order all BDM certs. I have checked BMD but nothing there on my searches.
Thanks GR for helping.

I'm sure you know more , like when was their first child born, it would give a time base for finding their marriage ?

When/where did they marry? There are loads of births for Elsie V Smiths :-(

I also believe that Thomas was born around the Hampston area. I believe that this is in the Consett area.

Hi everyone
I believe that she is the eldest but Ive heard a rumour that another daughter died in the same year less than 2yo.
Thanks for the help everyone

I'd go for the Lanchester birth being him then

Kevin

Kevin Report 17 Oct 2008 14:31

Hi Jen
I think that one is correct - now just birth and death of Elsie!
