	Sue, You won't get a birth cert in the parish records, just a baptism if you are lucky and you won't get the mothers maiden name. For the deaths, you will need to give a clue! Are they still alive on the 1901 census? They could have lived to be 100 which would mean a very long search. Have you checked freeBMD? Sam x
