Default Take one Grandparent - template

This is for anyone who didn't post up a thread or threads on this board when it was previously open, but would like to. (Please double-check that you haven't already posted a name before adding it!) We realise that some people would rather not post their grandparents' details up on here; it's entirely up to you.

Of course, most people will already have all the basic info about their grandparents, and if so then you may or may not wish to post it up, but some people do have blanks to fill in or brick walls which they would like help with. Please note that if your grandparent is still living, you should not post up his / her details unless s/he gives permission.

If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board and put your grandparent's name in the Title. If you don't know his / her name then put whatever you like in the title! Copy the following form and fill in the answers that you already have, then over the course of the next month you try to fill in any blanks and everyone else helps you.

Can you fill in all of the following information about that person:

Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Date and place of birth
Names of parents
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any - and any divorces
Occupation(s) - if any
Military service - if any
Addresses where they lived - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on, if applicable.
Date, place and cause of death
Date and place of burial / cremation.
Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable
Memorial inscription - if any


Adoptive or step-grandparents welcome! And partners' grandparents too.


If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up.

I dont think I can do this Kate. Two of my grandparents are still alive and if I entered the details of the two that have passed away in recent years, would I be breaching the privacy rules as the marriage info would mention the two that are alive?

Well, if you want to post them up, you could leave out the names of their spouses, Claire.
