Simkiss

[jords]

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.

Welcome to Rootschat Jordan.
(same name as my Son

It is best if you dont put exact dates of Birth of living people on here to avoid identity theft and scammers.
Please remove exact dates.

Now SNAITH;
Did William have a second name that you are aware of?

Cheers,
Trish

There are Simkiss researchers here on Rootchat.
If you check the Surname Interests Board you will see what I mean.

Think I have William;
Death Reg;
William Ewart G SNAITH, April 1992, Gateshead, Durham, 2 8
Date of Birth 01 November 1923

If this looks right then his Birth Reg is on FreeBMD, Mothers Maiden Name LILLIE.

William E G SNAITH Married Eva M LILLIE March 1920, Gateshead, 10a 770

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
