Hi Angela Would suggest that a starting point might be the 1901 census, if you can't find them as a married couple, then that probably narrows down the search time scale for their marriage - then you need the marriage cert. Trudy |

Angie, You will probably need to buy the marriage certificate to get your great granmothers maiden name. Where did they live? Sam |

Can any one help please, my grandfather was Harry Greenough born 1901 and I has just found out his parents were James H. and Charlotte should imagine born around 1880. I would like to know the exact year they were born and my ggrandmother's maiden name. Thanks Angie |
