Im looking for information on my great grandfather

Gordon Mimmack Wright.

He was born in Dec 1902 around Holbeach in Lincolnshire.

I have found the record of his birth but cant seem to find one of his death in 2002

He was married to Edith Lilian Wright nee Hilton 1905-1980

They went on to have 13 children.

He was the local chimney sweep and earned extra money by attending weddings.

We as a family know nothing of his parents or childhood be think they may have been travellers.

Any help would be amazing, as im getting no where.

Thanx
Andie

Andrea,

No you dont need to know his date of birth or death to get a copy of his birth certifciate,,,if you live local Holbeach Register offce may even supply one,,,,,,

you need to ask for the name he was registered in,,,Gordon M Wright,,,
