There are maybe 100 harry metcalfes born around the right time so without knowing where your nan was living at the time it would be difficult to find him. Also it was wartime and people were moving around the country far more than their ancestors.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

hi lindsey

nans maiden name was may but on dads birth cert it says metcalfe (so that confusing to start with) dads name is malcolm harry metcalfe there is no fathers name on his birth cert either but dad assures me that nan told him his father name was harry and thats why he has harry as a middle name so you see the problem i.m having with this
