Lauren when you have that certificate you will have
His mums name
his dad names
his date of birth
place of birth
and his mum maiden name which will then help find her family BUT you need her marriage certificate which we MAY be able to help you with .....but this thread would be better placed on genealogy chat....dont worry this time as people dont mind first time ...
NOW also your grandads name will possible be on your mums or dads birth or marriage certificate can you get them from your mum or dad

you get the numbers then send for the certificate through GRO it will cost about £10.00

If you give the names we could find the numbers for you
