Hi, I am trying to find out when my dads oldest brother was born, I think he is still alive but I have never had any contact with him. I can't find him on FreeBMD although his two younger siblings are on there, can anyone help? Here are the details:
My Grandad was John Bartlett Eccleston and he married my Nan - Alice Hampton on 29th January 1927 in Cannock (I have the original certificate for this) the rumour is they had to get married (as did most people it seems!) because they were expecting their eldest son. He is known as Uncle Peter but I suspect his name may be either Charles, John or Peter! His younger sister May Alice was born in Jun 1929 and was followed by Thomas Jun 1930 and then by 3 more sons including my dad Clifford 17th August 1936 to 6th January 2001.
Uncle Peter was raised by my Gt Grandparents (why I don't know) so I have never really known him. Any ideas anyone? Thank you for your time.

Flipping heck Tati that was quick! :D Well looks like they may not have HAD to get married! but it was tight :D I reckon the J and H in his name are John and Henry as my Gt Grandad was Charles Henry, he may still be alive would be nice to track him down as he could tell me alot about my family, I did meet him at my dads funeral but he didn't come back for the wake so never got to reallly talk to him. Thanks again
