Trying to find information on my grandparents Henry(harry) Harris and Lillian Christina(nee Stewart).My Uncle Bun and Auntie Winn (from Birmingham) Lived at some time on The St Micheals Estate in Warwickshire. I know I have cousins but not sure how many.
Grandparent move to Reading Area by 1920 approx and went on to have Evelyn (Babs) Wilf - Fred - Alex - Dorothy (my Mum) they had Henrietta and Uncle Bun but can't trace their births. although we know Henrietta was born in 1914.
Uncle Bun and Auntie Winn and some cousins visited us in Reading before Gran & Granddad passed away respectively in approx 1956/7 and 1959/60.
Gran came from Irish parentage possibly Cork and not sure about granddad but I can't find a record of either marriage or births of eldest (Bun & Henrietta)
Any help on how to find out anything would be greatly appreciated.
I believe Grans parents came over when the potato famine was on.
Her maiden name was Stewart ( or variation) unless I can find out more about them I can't go back any further.
any help will be gratefully recieved.

Wht not start with finding your Mums birth cerificate, that with give both parents names, when was she born ?
Most of the names you have are shortened versions or nick names, so you need her parents names first to trace the childrens births.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }
