At this precise moment I don't know anything at all on my Grandfather Ernest Balchin other than he married my Grandmother who passed in 2006.

If anyone has any possible information about anything it would be good to hear from you.

Hi Adam,

What was your grandmothers name? What makes you think his birth date may be 1917?

Where did your g/parents come from?

Hi Ann

To be honest I have no idea where I got the date from and in searching for him I haven't found anyone near that date. My grandmothers name is Eileen Watts. Im not sure where Ernest come from but I believe my Grandmother came from the Brighton area but Im not 100% sure or any of my current info.

I am waiting for some info but I am yet to hear from that source.

Have you got a year of birth for their oldest child as they may have got married with in 12mths before that date. a marriage certificate would give you a lot morwe detail about him. Do you have a death year for him?

Hi Everyone.

I know my mum was born Nov 1946 I think her mum was born in 1920 - 1924.

Unfortunatey My mother and father split when I was very young and we lived with dad. Hence the history is a bit thin there.

Yes my Grandmothers name was Eileen, but I believe her birthday was in June.

Ah yes, Ticehurst I can recall as it is the one name I was trying to get a hold of and only recently got it.

Sept is the registration quarter when parents recorded the birth not the actual date of birth and Sept is registration July-Sept. so could be a birth late in June and registered July
