Hi Mark, where are you looking ,where are they from ,and how far back have you got.

 

[Bottomfeeder]

Hi Ellie thank you for your reply. I am from Oxford got has far as my dads dad in the early 1900. This is all new to me so don't really now where to start.

 

[Ellie7]

Have you got your grandfathers marriage certificate
https://www.gov.uk/order-copy-birth-death-marriage-certificate

then you can look the 1911 Census,also Findmypast has the 1939 Register

 

[Bottomfeeder]

No so far I am on a free trial on find my past is that any good or are there better places to search?

 

[Ellie7]

Well i was on Ancestry for years,now on FindmyPast which i now prefer.Its is more private i believe.

Thank you very much that is very helpful. What do you think would be the best site to carry on searching with?

Take your pick there are many, FMP and Ancestry seem to be the most popular but also FamilySearch is good and free.
