I have been building a tree of OHs side of the family and can get on both his father's and mother's side, four generations and no further. To get to the point, I thought I'd check anyway, as OHs parents weren't sure their grandparents were married before they left Russia. I found that half the pages have been blanked out and wondered why, does anyone know? Also, the family think my FiL's GP's were buried in Leeds but I can't find any record, is this because they were buried using their original names, rather than the ones they used when they came to the UK?
Also one of my MiL's cousins was born after WW2 and I have tracked down the only person of the right age, same name but the middle initial is wrong. A J could be mistaken for an S and the clincher was the mothers maiden name, C!!i???, though the area of birth registration seems wrong. Does this kind of thing happen often?
