Find Ancestors

Hi, I am looking into my grandfathers side I have very little information on him.

My grandfather was called Patrick Hart born 1929 and died 2006, he married Margaret Mary Bugg in 1957 she was born 1933 and died 1997, I have a lot of family information on my grandmothers side its my grandfathers I am looking in to. They had two children - both sons.

Patrick had one sibling - a brother called Alfred Martin Hart who was born 1921 and died 2005. He married Pearl Linstead born c1923 who is still around. Unsure of when they married. They had one child - A daughter.

Their parents were Alfred Hart who was born c1898 and died some time in the 1940's and Laura Bailey (Also known as Minnie) born 1899 and died late 1960's.

The family lived in Lincolnshire.

This is all the information we have on my grandfather, we would like to expand the family tree on his side so any help would be brilliant. Thankyou :-D

Well, you've already got quite a good start Gemma!

Are you trying to work further back? Do you have access to census records?

Hi Gemma.
I think you have quite a bit of info compared to most of us!
Have you looked at Freebmd to find births, marriages and deaths?

Maria probably not Laura's mother.
Only married in 1909

Brummiejan that looks right :)

On the 1911 census for Laura, George, John and Frederick are her brothers. She may have had other siblings born after the 1911 census.
