Thank you Congletonian for giving me the link to free FMP credits where I found a newspaper article giving the birth announcement of a second cousin. I checked the address with 1911 census on Ancestry and it was the same so I had the right parents. then I started tracking the family forward and as one was at Rossall school in Fleetwood i emailed them and they got back to me within a few hours!!!!! saying that 3 of the boys went to that school and when, and what their records showed:- eg school monitor, prizes given etc.
As the birth announcement on FMP gave the actual date I could tie up this person with his mechanical engineering records on ancestry and then track him forward from that
Then i put the surname and where they lived into google and found 2 graves with memorial inscriptions!!!!!!!!!!! So the family is coming together nicely.
So thank you again for helping me and giving me the big high that comes with finding something new.
