Hi,

You were lucky Carol, my father burnt all family stuff before his death in 2000 to be nasty. All l have is mom's birth cert to get my grandparents names John Graham and Lillian Graham nee Fulford from Birkenhead Cheshire. They died John in 1960  age 73 and Lilian age 76 in 1968 l have their death certs which don't enlighten me at all. l have search for their marriage from 1907 to 1914 and unless l missed it cann't find them. l found 1 John Graham born in 1887 which is about the right year, Lilian should be abt 1892 but have come up with nothing. All this because of one mean old man.

My grandad done that too (mum's dad) we think it was after WW2.
So we had to buy copies of his medals, there are no photos of him in Army uniform, or their baby son who died at 18 months, any photos in fact. He burnt the lot.
It is so sad. We have his marriage cert, but we could have ordered a new on if that was the case.
I also cannot find my g grandfathers birth, so I guess he was one of those not registered

Hi Pettsy,

Since my posting l have manage to find family, never give up, l found my Fulford listed as Pulford so never take the spelling as correct. Lots of good people here have helped me and some l found myself. Have you posted your g grandfather's name and info  so someone just might be able to help you.

Good Luck
Tarnee

Hi Tarnee

I am glad you have found what you are looking for.   
 
I knew my grandfather, he died when I was 19, but he destroyed all his paperwork, photos, medals, etc....
I can't find his father, and there is no birth registered for his father either. 
B c1863/4. On the census he is down as being born in Islington on one, and West Ham on another one

I have tried on here to find him, but with no luck.
Although I do have my g grandfathers marriage and death certificate, but I cannot find him on early census, or a birth certificate.

I wont give up though 

Cheers

Just a silly little Christmas question ! What does this  word or abbreviation ' lol ' mean ?? I see it all over the  place but to me it only means ' lots of love ' - am I missing something ? ?

Hi Emmeline,

I see there were several replies.

Your "lots of love" is a brilliant interpretation.

In the right context it can also mean "little old lady."

Hi Christopher

I think I will stick to my interpretation in this instance in case you get the idea I could possibly be one of those lol 

Anyhow  - sending you lol from faraway............ lots of laughter too.
