Member Since: February 2005 Posts: 37 Send Message	I have today received my Grandad's Birth Certificate, but I am having trouble locating any info on my Great Grandfather, in particular, and my Great Grandmother. My Gr. Grandad was Arthur Guyon Jeffrey Marler and at the time of my Grandads birth was a Congregational Minister. His wife was called Alice Myra Marler formerly Metherell. Grandad was born The Manse Ottery St Mary, Honiton Devon, on 10.6.1899 (I take this as maybe a vicarage). Nothing has come up on the site.. so any tips would be very appreciated:-) Jenny
