Sheila Jones (nee Cork) emails: "For several years l have been trying to research my family tree. l know my great-grandad was James Goble, born November 5, 1851 at 26 Pimlico, Brighton, and married to Mary Jeffery in 1871 at St Nicholas.

"But between their marriage and the time my grandad Thomas Goble was born in 1884 in Brighton l can find no trace until Mary remarries in 1890. I have found no death certificate for James.

"I'm also looking for any positive location of grandad when he was little until he got married in 1904 to Harriett Cobby in Brighton. Even on this marriage l can't find any siblings from 1904 until 1914.

After that l have a family but they must have had a family in the early years. Any help would be appreciated."
