Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum so dont know the "rules" but I'm wondering if anyone can help me.
My grandad was Arnold Tideswell born in June 1934 and unfortunately died in 1994.
His father was Ernest Tideswell and I thought his dob was 1869, but after looking at bmd, there's an Ernest born in 1868 Stoke On Trent and an Ernest Charles born in 1870 Stoke On Trent! These are the only 2 during a 5 year period.
His mother was Winifred Ashley and she was born circa 1915. I know this looks like a mistake but the 46 year age gap is apparently correct.
I had the above info from my grandads sister, but she won't give me any further info because she says it's more fun finding out for myself. But I'm a bit stuck with it.
I've managed to find a marriage for them:
1932 Civil Marriage (Stoke & Wolstanton) Stoke-On-Trent SWRO/39A/039
But I can't afford to get a copy of the marriage certificate.
I've also found an Ernest in the 1871 census but can't confirm whether this is him or not:
Father James E Tideswell aged 39
Mother Thomas aged 36
Children
Victoria J aged 10
Wallace aged 6
Frank aged 5
Ernest aged 15 months
James 16
Thomas 14
Can anybody help me at all?
Thanks in advance :D
