Hi Parents of my Gran

[polecat]

Hi new here looks good here.
Im currently on 2 trails

(1) My grans parents
Here name at birth Was Contance Lane all I was ever told when I asked about
family was that my gran was 1 of 13 and her mother died in child birth.
My gran grew up in Oakengates, Shropshire.
Born 13th Oct 1916 GRO of the birth (Wellington District) Vol 6a page 1100 I think. From what I can make out the mothers maiden name was Bladen?
But with out the names of mother and father I cant order the birth cert from
gro.gov.uk.

(2) Im looking for more info on my great grandfathers Army career in WW1.
His name was Richard Latimer Sutton b 1883 so 30/31 in 1914
I have been googling and searching for info on

46th Divisional Training Battery
Royal Field Artillery

I have found 3 Richard Suttons all drivers in the Royal Field Artillery
1914 -1920

But im confused as the all have the same catalogue no. WO 372/19 but different
reg no.? On reading about the Artillery in WW1 they split, reformed and amalgamated a few times during the great war.

Any help would be great even just a little info on the 46th Divisional Training Battery its self.

To order a cerificate from the GRO online site all you need is the reference, which you have. As you know the date of birth that will help you decide whether it's the right one.

You might want to start with you gran's marriage certificate though, that will give you her father's name which will enable you to ensure that you have the right birth certificate.

Hi Polecat

Welcome to the forum. If you are not too sure that it is the right birth date for your gran, why not go for her marriage cert first. Presumably you know who her husband was and roughly when they were married? The marriage cert will give her father's name unless she was illegitimate. Otherwise, if you are pretty certain of the date of gran's birth you can order the cert to confirm it - you only need the reference, not mother's name.

Sue, snap!!!
