Hi all, thanks for your help! Partner's grandfather was Frederick Percy Barefield born 20.2.1910. His father (who was in the army) was (we are pretty sure) was George Barefield. |

GreatGrandad's full name May give you access to a whole load of Army info, IF you can positively distinguish him, (an unusual name helps), AND his records have survived (many did not). Granfather's birth cert is the starting point. |

Your partner's grandfather's full name and approximate date of birth will allow someone to find his birth registration for you so you can then order his birth certificate to give you the information you are looking for. |

To find his parents names you need to find your partner's grandfathers birth cert that will give you the info to search for his parents and his fathers army records. |

Hi, my partner's grandfather was brought up during the first world war in the care of barnardos after his mother was deemed unsuitable to be responsible for children by the court system. We have contacted Barnardos and have paid for the info they have - including 3 photos of his grandfather, never before seen by the family - unfortunately his parents are only listed as mr + mrs, no christian names. His father was away in france at war. Does anyone have any idea how i can find info on his father's name - eg. army records and/or how i could access court records from the time to (hopefully) find his mothers name and more info on why she was deemed unsuitable? Sorry this is so long-winded! Thanks for reading! Karen |
