Title: where is he from?
Post by: PHILCYMRO on Tuesday 02 December 14 20:24 GMT (UK)
I have recently unearthed some information about my paternal great grandparents. My one surviving aunt had no knowledge of any names apart from her parents but after a look through some old photos we came across one of her grandparents with their names that had been in a drawer for over 40 years. My grandfather was english but in his later years lived and passed away in Llanelly.  His name was George Parker and was born about1884 +-1 year. His parents were John and Elizabeth but I have no idea where they are from.  What can I do next?

Hi keyboard86. I haven't done any research since that date and the photos found by my aunt have given me a push to get going again.  I won't be able to visit the archives for a while as I'm a coal merchant and this is my busiest time of year. Hopefully a visit will be done in the spring.
