Please help, I am trying to find out more information about my paternal side of the family. My grandfather Colin Crawford (born in c1930 and Married Mavis Hollis) As far as I know, he was born in the Midlands! Anybody who thinks they know more about his family can you please let me know?
Thanx Jemma xx

My dad was born in 1955 and died in 1998. I think they must have married around about 1955ish as my gran fell pregnant before they married. Hope thats enough info?
Thanks Jem x

Basford Parish lies principally in the vale of the Leen, where that river is augmented by two small streams called the Day Brook and White Moor Spring; but its eastern extremity rises to the lofty hills of Mapperley. It extends from one and a half to three miles north of Nottingham


Looks like your Grandmothers birth

Yes, I think it must be as my grandmother was born 03/03/1933! I always thought though that she was born in Stoke (where she grew up) could well be basford though!
