Find Ancestors

Hi Guys, i have done everything i possibly can on my mission to find the anscestors of Sidney Grant but have failed miserably and wondered if someone could pls lend a hand. Sidney Grant 1913 St Helier, Jersey. His wife (i say his wife but cant find a marriage entry) was Violet Peachey 1915, Lambeth London. They lived in Southampton, Hampshire from at least the late 40s. They had 3 children, the eldest born 1950. Sidneys mother was Mary Mythen c1889 Bagenalstown, County Carlow, Eire. On finding his birth Cert Sidney found he was christened Sidney Mythen. A member of the family found a marriage cert which revealed that Sidney had in fact been married before. The cert later dissappeared. I have managed to trace his mother (thats a story in itself!) But as to the rest of it, i cant find anything. All contributions gratefully excepted! Sue

Sidney has 3 siblings, Stacia (maybe Anastacia) c1919 St Helier. Edward c1915 St Helier and Maura (Ifound her birth entry) 1920 Southampton ...All Grants.

Can anything please be found regarding sYdneys father or first wife? Sorry.

have you got details of father from birth cert?

Nothing Jan, all i know is that he died in his 30s.

The birth Cert disappeared along with the marr cert!

perhaps you will need to get one of the siblings birth certs to give fathers details or do you think surname Grant was a step father?

you could get a copy of marriage cert

official ste cost about £7 tick GRO known which is the vol and page number

I believe Grant was the father. Regarding Sydneys first marriage, there may be some half siblings out there somewhere.

I just wondered about surname as you said he was christened Mythen
no luck with 1st marriage yet. The cert would confirm perhaps if he was a widow/divorced when he married

Its all a bit of a mystery. The fact that he was married before, which clearly he was bacause a member of the family found the marr cert which must have stated widowed. It was never talked about and obviously meant to be kept a secret. Shame to dig it all up really but hey! i cant help myself!!! tee hee

being born after 1911 census means certs are the only things with the info we need to find father then!!
