Thanks for all of this. It's given me some insight into my mother's background which she never shared with me. I never knew my grandparents, so their deaths before my 1965 birth is entirely likely.

Thanks for that. I'd no idea such information was available, being a novice at family research. Strangely, my mother never talked about her childhood. We must have walked past the house she grew up in many times - it's still there - yet she never pointed it out to me.

Thank you. You located her so quickly. She is long deceased. You've given me something worthwhile, as she didn't tell me much about her family.

My mother, Jean Allinson (or Allison) was born in England in 1929. A search on ancestry.co.uk finds nothing until her second marriage, to my father, in 1963. Can someone advise me how I might locate her birth record and anything else likely to be available?
