I have just read an old letter from a paternal aunt saying that she

This is the first indication that I have of granny Richardson and i
wonder if SKS out there could tell me how I could get more
information, as to where she lived and when she and her husband passed
away.
what about your grand parents birth certificates ?
then marriage certs too
no short cuts until back to 1902
and when she and her husband passed away.
death certificates
electoral rolls
trade directories
read genuki
http://www.genuki.org.uk/ or good book on family history
research to learn the basics or this
