Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 18 Send Message	Hi, This is very vague! My grandfather on my mothers side was called Charles Noel Cooper. I have found his birth as 24/12/1920 registered in Farnham, Surrey. I have his mothers maiden name as Martin. Is there anyway I can move forward with this or will I have to send for his birth cert to find out fathers name and mothers first name? Thanks
