*Archive?* Plese Help - HERBERT CRESSWELL

[nogden74]

can anyone help me trace a herbert cresswell. he was my nana's biological father. Her biological mother was called florence knowles. I am having great difficulty in tracking down anything about herbert as he and florence were never married. They had a child in 1923 (my nana) called esme elsie cresswell, any information would be most useful

[nogden74]

sorry i meant to add that the family lived in the birmingham area until the 40's when my nana met my grandad and they moved to doncaster

I can find 5 Herberts in 1901 and 1911, none living in Birmingham. Do you have your nans birth certificate, and does it state his occupation or any other details about him?

[nogden74]

unfortunately i dont. i might have to try and get hold of a copy

There's nothing on Free BMD, I searched from 1890 - 1910 for Birmingham. You need to search the full index which is on Ancestry I believe. Linell.
