My great Paternal Grandmother was called Doris M Radford. She married Percy Grayson in 1916 and they had a child also named Percy who was born in 1927.

Any info would be very much appreciated.

There were many more children than Percy (1927)

Look for their births on freebmd

I see son Percy had quite a few siblings.

One of which was George G Grayson who appears on the probate record.

And Marie Grayson who married Leonard Brearley......who also appears on the probate record.

I have PMd Lauren to help guide her back to this thread.

wow this is incredible! Thank you all so much! Im a beginner at this and obviously out of my depth.

Sorry i just read the beginners guide after i posted this.

Unfortunately i dont have a date of birth for either Percy senior or Doris so ill have to start searching for siblings and adding up dates.

I suppose what i'm looking for is Percy and Doris DOB and their parents names. Ill go through all this information carefully.

Doris and Percy's marriage certificate would confirm all the above information.

Good to see you found your way back Lauren.

Prickles. x

Thanks Prickles! Ive just ordered the marriage cert so i can confirm these details! This is very exciting indeed :-)

My dad just confirmed that he was born at 62 Britnall Street and Percy (1927) siblings were George, Sydney, Mabel, Mildred, Marry, Silvia. Lots of info to get my teeth into. Thanks again :-)

Jolly good!!
