Find Ancestors

My grandma was Nora Bell born 1912 I'm trying to find her parents. Her great grandparents had 5 brothers Laurie Bell 1888, John, Herbert, Joseph 1886 and James(Binks) 1886 ?, all but James were killed in WW1and Daughters Barbara Ann 1877, Margaret Isobel 1880,

There are three births registered for a Nora Bell in 1912, one in Llandilofawr, Carmarthenshire, one in Keighley and one in Burnley. You will find these on freebmd. The birth certificate will give her parents' names.

WHERE?

Look for the birth on freebmd.......then the marriage of the parents on the same site

John.......you will have to purchase the birth cert if you wish to be 100% sure

As only James is reputed to have survived WW1, the odds are that all of the widows re-married
