Find Ancestors

I am trying to find information about my Grandparents ancestors and would appreciate any help. Their details are:

Charles Henry Mundy circa 1900 - 1990 High Wycombe
Mary Taylor 01/11/1900 - 1986 High Wycombe

Thanks in advance :-)

Do you have the marriage cert for the names of the fathers

Marriages Dec 1931 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mundy Charles H Taylor Wycombe 3a 2430
Taylor Mary Mundy Wycombe 3a 2430

Ordering the cert from the GRO will give you their father's names.

I would suggest you buy the marriage certificate to get fathers' names:

Marriages Dec 1931 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mundy Charles H Taylor Wycombe 3a 2430
Taylor Mary Mundy Wycombe 3a 2430

Not seeing any deaths that match the info given .........

As already said, you really need to order that marriage certificate
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Possible birth given the date you give,

Births Jun 1902 (>99%)


MUNDY Charles Henry Henley 3a 938

Thanks everyone. I have now found more precise information about my grandfather:

He was born in Thame, Oxfordshire on 29/01/1907 and died in Devon on 06/01/1998

Hello Paul, you really need to order a copy of the birth certificate so you can be 100% sure of the facts. This is the record:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Charles Henry Mundy
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1907
Registration district: Thame
Inferred County: Oxfordshire
Volume: 3a
Page: 1042

You can order direct from GRO for £9.25 http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
Tick the box where it asks if GRO reference is known (it's shown on the record I posted)

To find out anything about Mary's family you really need their 1931 marriage certificate (posted further up) - with a name like hers there are just too many to guess at!
