Do you know your grandparents names!?
I can start looking from 1901 so if you have information that will help find someone living during this date, it would be easy to go backwards from there!.

I'll see if I can find him on the NewFamilySearch website provided by the LDS Church!.

Edit: The best name close to Daniel Brigstocke-Davies is Owen Brigstocke, born 1741, Carmathen, Wales!. His spouse's name was Ann Williams!.

I saw no children or parentage named Daniel Brigstocke-Davies!.

This was written for yanks, but it holds a lesson for you Brits!. You guys fought in the Revolution, but on a different side!. Viet Nam was in the 1960's - 1970's!.

Consider this:

IF (big IF) you are now 16 and the result of a long line of teen-aged lovers:
You were born 16 years ago, in 1992;
Your father was born 16 years before that, in 1976;
Your grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1960;
Your great grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1944!.

IF (Another big IF) you are now 80 and the result of a long line of men who had a child by their second wives when they were 60:
You were born 80 years ago, in 1928;
Your father was born 60 years before that, in 1868;
Your grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1808;
Your great grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1748!.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1944 could have been a 26-year old soldier in Viet Nam in 1970!. When he got home he might have gone to a disco in a powder-blue double-knit polyester leisure suit!.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1748 could have been a 28-year old soldier serving under George Washington in the American Revolution in 1776!. When he got home, he might have danced a reel at a barn dance, in a pair of silk knee breeches and shoes with silver buckles!.

Both examples are extreme, both are physically possible, both show why a birth year or even a birth decade help more than the phrase "my (great) grandfather"!.

You made me have to look up Bournmouth and Cross Hands! It is always best to give more information than not enough!. I assume these towns are in the UK!. That said you need to be searching in the web pages with genealogy links to that area!. Here is a list of some nice web sites from the UK and the best part is they are free!

Happy hunting!
