Please I need your help as a death cert shows my nans fathers death was registered by a son? This means nan has or had a half brother maybe more family.This has come as a big shock to my nan.
Nan is not in the best of health and is aged 85 now.
I would like to know how I can get more information and fast?

This is what I know
Nans father was William George Trice he walked out on my nans mother leaving her to bring up 3 girls on her own. He died in 1956 aged 64 years. Address 37 Frossart Road, Woolwich. Occupation Builders labourer.
Informant of death was W.G.Trice (son) address 73a Shooters Hill road SE3.
Could W.G Trice the son, nans half brother, still be alive????
Any infomation please
Thanks so much
Kind regards
Julie

What is the first name of your nan and her dob and place of birth

You could contact the Greenwich Heritage Centre (closed Mondays) 020 8854 2452 and see if they can look at the Electoral Roll for 1956/1957 and see who was living at 73a Shooters Hill Road it may give you other names to reasearch ie the wife of WG Trice, it'll give his full name.

You could then look for a marriage - which will give the maiden name and then look for children - obtain certs (which will give addresses) - look in phone books and ERs to see how long they lived in a particular area.

What year did Grandad walk out - assume (but don't rule out) that the son was born after that date but before 1956

For reference...so we get places...

This looks like his birth...

William G.Trice

Woolwich

Mothers maiden name 'Frosdick'

I Think my nan was about 10 to 15 years old no more than that. She was the eldest of 3 girls. Nan sisters are not alive to ask. Nans mother was called Blanche Violet Baker 1891-1993 yes over 100 years old. She Married William George Trice in 1915.
Thanks again

Do you know where William and Blanche Married?

What are the names, dates of birth and places of birth of Joans sisters?

So grandad William left sometime between 1932 and 1937?

There are 2 William George Trice born 1892. It's begining to look as if 1 married Miss Baker & the other Miss Fosdick.
