Hi - my fathers name was William Frederick Cox, resident in Gravesend, Kent. Married to Edith Eliza Jones. Am trying to find out details about his father (my grandfather). Don't know his forenames or date/place of birth (he died long before I was born), but I think he originates from Wales. Any help out there?

Hi Folks, just to let you know that I have received a message from Janet. She is new to the site and is struggling with how it works. She hasn't yet seen these replies so I have sent some more guidelines for her on how to get return. Hopefully she will be here soon! Cx.

OK - am getting to grips with it now thanks to Cynthia.

Many thanks to you all for the information - I am overwhelmed, didn't expect so many replies so soon!! It is a great start to finding out more about my father's family. Thanks again.
