Thread: help needed new to genealogy

i am trying to trace my family history fathers name reginald edgar mason d,o,b 21/3/1928 born in birmingham please can anyone help regards reg.

Hi Reg



If you buy his birth cert. it will name his parents'. If either parent was born before 1901 we may then be able to trace them through the census'.



The ref. you will need to order the birth cert. is



Reginald E. Mason, mother's maiden name Birch.



Registered Birmingham North 2nd qrt 1928. Vol 6d Page 880.



The cert will cost £7

Hi slizzy thank you for your reply many regards reg.

I've found another 2 Mason/Birch births registered in Aston, could they be your Father's siblings? Names Irene F. Mason 1914, and Clarence G. B. Mason 1919. There could be others.

Thank you for getting back in touch. you have gave me some useful information to look up, my dads fathers name was john william mason he was in the 1914-1918 first world war thank you for your help regards reg.

Hi Reg,



This is the probable marriage record of your grandparents'
