Thanks for the replies.

River tyne lass...I have no idea on schooling etc, but I will try to look around that area. My gmum always said that she was born on a ship, but birth certificate states born at home.

Wivenhoe....1912. Sub district Southampton western, county of Southampton. With the registration taking place 26 days later. Not sure what you mean by informant. The only names on the bc, are gmums, her parents and the registrar.

Tony...Yes, good point to consider.

I have an aunty, who apparently has a letter, from one of the half sisters children. She has told me it answers some questions, said she would find it and email it to me. That was sooooooo long ago. I have already asked for it a few times.She hasn't even told me what secrets it may or may not reveal..... Sigh.... It could be a missing piece of the huge puzzle.

Hi Sparrett. Half sister was the daughter of my grandmums mum, from her first marriage. She was the only child from that marriage.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi all. I am pretty sure that Robert and Selina are my ggggrandparents.  I think that Selina died due to complications giving birth to her only child.  Robert went on and had more children, in another marriage. His son with Selina, ( my gggrandfather) went and lived with family, who ran a pub.  This is all without 100% research, no certificates etc, just a bit of hunting I did a few years back. Thanks.

Thankyou very much, Cathy. It's  all a bit of a head spin for me. Hopefully I will find some stuff.

Hi Spendlove. Yes, it is the original birth certificate. I haven't  searched for a baptism record as yet. My gmums father is recorded on the birth certificate. I didn't  know if they did dodgy type stuff back then, on birth certificates, in cases like unwed mothers.

Hi Tony. Half sister at the time of my gmums birth is about 12, while my great gmums age was about 33-34.  Other siblings were aged  nearly 3yo and  1 &1/2, at the time.

Thankyou both, for your responses.

Hello.  How do I go about finding info on family born in Palestine, early 1900s?  Any tips would be great. Thankyou.

Hi everyone. I have just joined, and don't  know much about using a computer, so hopefully can navigate my way around here.  My question is, how do you find out who a persons birth mother is? Quick rundown...Grandmothers half sister claimed to be my gmums birth mother. I have her birth cert, (England) and it states her mum as her mum, not her half sister. Everyone involved has passed away, so have to do the sleuthing myself. Is there any way of finding out? Thankyou.
