I don't know my great grandparents names and my grandparents are dead so I can't find out that way.

This great aunt was the youngest, by 9 years. I will search marriages now but I haven't quite got the hang of the free BMD yet :)

Thank you.

If this person is your great aunt...........one of her siblings is your grandparent........the mother and father are your great-grandparents. What were their names?

Possible .................



look for a spooner/johnson marriage on www.freebmd.org.uk



was your great aunt the youngest/eldest??

I shoudl look initially for a marriage between about 1900 and 1925 (just in case they didn't marry until later!!)

Hello again!

I have finally found my great Aunt's birth entry, complete with her mother's maiden name.

My Aunt is Irene Lillian Spooner, 1914, Birmingham, 6d 533, mother's name Johnson.

However I don't know where to go from there? Any ideas please?

Thank you :)
