Thanks,

I know my grandparent wasn't born there, not sure where my dad was born, I know he lived in that house in Hendon till he met my mum.

I just don't know how to search my family tree. have tried but you need ass kinds of info about DOB and deaths. All I know is my mothers maden name is Green, that is such a popular name I just stalled.

If need be, I can ask other members of my family but you need to tell me what you need.

Sorry to be a pain.

Mark

Hi,My name is Alison Bidmead,I was born in Doncaster,but my paternal roots are in the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire areas.I am in touch with a gentleman who now lives in Australia,but his wife was a Bidmead before marriage and she came from the London area.I have quite a lot of Bidmead history,if you can give me some specifics,I might have a link for you.Best regards,Alison

Be very careful with the name Bidmead,as I have found(to my cost) there are so many variants of the name ie; Bidmade Bidmede,Bidmeed,It seems the further back I go,the more obscure the spelling,I suppose,not everyone had perfect spelling years ago,even vicars! I have come across baptism records with one spelling for the child and another for the father.I have been told that the original spelling was Bigamee,and originated in Ireland,but all but a few Irish records were lost in a fire,so my research had to stop there.There are some very old Bidmead recordings in the area of Bisley,Glous.I have yet to tie mine in with these.
