You guys are great just reading through Adyn Snaiths ww1 records I've got further with this in the last hour than I have in a year or more I suppose it's more of knowing where to look and how to use the site properly

That's spot on is that jjen and trish for some reason my grandmothers maiden name had completely left my mind but thats it, have tried talking to family but no one ever seems to know or want to say anything so makes life kinda hard to find anything out :( the only other part I do know is that my dads side (simkiss part) his father came from Birmingham but that's all I know don't even know his name, can be annoying but my family just don't like talking bout things like this

Thanks for the reply trish I've amended the dates,
All I remember is his name was William Snaith but my grandmother called him bill which is obviously short for William
Oh and my grandmother had I think off top of my head 7 brothers and sisters maybe 8 can't be too sure  

That won't be him trish he married my grandmother Betty in Bradford he left the Durham area when he was young

Hi newbie here lol I've been trying for a while now to try and sort through some of my family history and I can never get anywhere tbh :( if anyone could help or anything it would be greatly apritiated.
This is basically what I know (yes I know my info doesn't go very far back at all)
Me - Jordan simkiss born l/1987 Bradford
Mother - Julie simkiss born /1956 Bradford
Father - Edward simkiss born /1956
Grandmother on mothers side Betty Snaith (married name) born 1929
Grandfather on mothers side William Snaith born in Durham sometime in the 20's died in 1992 from what I remember
This is all I know for dates, only other info I have is that William moved from durham to wharram at some point early on in his life after his mother died, went to live with his aunt and uncle and lived in the railway house there, he also I think had a sister but I have no info on her.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
