You will need to order certificates along the way to confirm details.

The only place to order them online is GRO (everywhere else is a rip off). GRO charge £9.25 which is less than some register offices charge.

Hello Stacey and welcome to the boards.

One of your points - the children to his first wife - can easily be found using FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Just put in surname McGreal and mother's name Birch.

Stacey since you are just starting out, you want to start by having the thrill of discovery for yourself !

Go there and search for

mcgreal
timothy

and you will find his birth to start with


Now, I see you probably know that -- registered in early 1909. It is possible he was born earlier in 1908 and registered late ... you have to get his birth certificate to know for sure.
