[1] What was his first name [2] When & where was he born? [3] Who did he marry, when and where? [4] What is his connection with Brighton? [5] What were his children called [6] When & where were they born? [7] Are any of them connected with Brighton? [8] When and where did he or his wife die? Re: family by Roy Grant 13 April 2010I should have also added that under normal circumstances your father or mother’s birth certificate will also give a full name to Mr McCarthy, his wife’s maiden name and another address. Your quest for information about your grandfather therefore starts with finding out more about your own parents using official certificates from the PRO, and verifying everything found in the local Street Directories and voting lists for the towns in which they once lived. Re: family by Roy Grant 13 April 2010You did not reply after 24 hours, so I can only assume you know little about Mr McCathy because he is a grandfather who you or your parents lost touch with. Try getting a copy of your parents’ marriage certificate which should give you your grandfather’s first name, his occupation and perhaps even a family address.
