Hi all,
Well I got far didn't I?? A stumbling block and I'm only at my Grandfather, bodes well.
Here's what I do know of my Grandfather.
Name James Swarbrick, although we called him Jim. Married to Alma Swarbrick (formerly Knowles). I have found no records of the marriage. Names are my from my memory as a kid. Knowles name known from my Dad's birth certificate (Ian Swarbrick).
Born 4th May 1921 in Blackpool (I have the birth certificate), died 16 March 1992 in Blackpool (found records of death and probate)
Here is the brickwall....
On his birth certificate no fathers name is given. His mothers name is given as Daisy Swarbrick formerly Hulme. This indicates to me his parents were married other wise the mothers name would be Daisy Hulme? Right? I can't find any info on a marriage between a Swarbrick and a Hulme though.
What reason would a fathers name be omitted from a birth certificate back in the 20's? I'm guessing the father died after conception but before birth?
The birth certificate does have an address (14 Park Road, Blackpool) so I though to search census records for a list of people living there around the 1920's... no luck.
Now it could be I'm not very good as I've only been researching for a few weeks.
Any ideas on where to look?
Thanks
Tim

Hey Sandy,
Thanks for replying.
Bit confused. sorry. How will the marriage cert between my Dad and Mum help? My mum and dad married in 1969. Her name was formerly Wallis. But's that going down a different part of the family.
I'm after tracking my Grandfather's Dad.
Thanks
Tim

I did spot this on Ancestry but dismissed it due to location. May have to re-add it to my whiteboard and look into this Robert Thomas.
Thanks Pamel
