Hi all! I’ve spent months now trying to find out any information about my Grandad, I’m thinking now that maybe his birth wasn’t registered or that he changed his name, it’s all such a mystery, he died in 1969 leaving 5 children and all this mystery ???? I know he was a naughty boy before meeting my nan ???? but this is the information I have found below… I have been on ancestry, heritage and find my past but I get nowhere, so I thought I’d give here a shot. Thanks for reading.
