Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 22 Send Message	If i find a name and birth ref but am not sure if it's the right person how can i check it out? For example i have a Robert Davies born Birmingham 11 march 1885 but not sure he is my grandad!! And Annie Lowe born Aston ref in bmd is 6c 329,2nd qtr.1864.Whatever that means? do i have to buy cert to see if they are relevant? Alan Davies

For the rest, yes you will probably have to get the certificates. There is a site where you can get rid of unwanted certificates...that should tell you how many of us do find ourselves on wild goose chases lol

	Well Davies is a very common surname,,I'm a little unsure how you could have a birth date &year,but dont kow if hes your granddad,,?any reasons ? Your grandads name should if one applies or known be on the mariage certificate of your fatherto your mother and the same will apply to her,
