Hi, as I have said before I am quite new to this and have now come up against a few brick walls!
I am researching my fiances family starting with Hatch (fathers side). Without going into too much detail his father (alfred) was in the army (based in windsor, we will be making a journey there soon hopefully to gather his army life as they have all records of everyone in the army based there) and eventually my father in laws parents divorced (no dates). My father in law lost contact and we do not know what happend in those missing years as it wasn't talked about before he died (he remarried got the dates etc). Going back further I have g.grandads birth and marriage to florence higgs (g. grandmother and her birth). We do not know whether he was in the army (and wouldn't know how to find out). Now I get stuck, on their birth records there are no mothers maiden names, so how do I now go back further without this information? I am also trying to find any siblings for alfred and eventually for his first wife (grandmother), is there any easy way or do i just need to trawl through the years one at a time?
Thanks for your time and i am sorry its so long i just didn't know how to word it any other way!
