genealogy, I cannot find my great grandparents anywhere!?

[Townie]

I have posted this question a couple of times ages ago and no luck! so Im trying again.

James Alfred Moore married Maud Hodder, england

thats all the info I have, I know it sounds stupid.

I got that infomation off my grandfathers birth certificate. So now I have their names, how do most people go futher from there with no dates ??
I am a member of Ancestry.co.uk and thats how I have tried searching but with no luck, there are too many james alfred moores and maud hodders how do i know which is right??

I also cant find a marriage
Thank you everyone for your help but the problem is I have no idea about them, neither does my family because their son (my grandfather) had a private life and left it all behind, come to wales and married my grandmother, we dont even know if he had a brother or sister.

so I guess im stuck

thanks again

On thing I discovered while studying geneology especially from England, is that a lot of times families kept naming their children after their fathers.

If you have an LDS church close by, they have the entire Geneologiacl Library, and should be able to assist you.

I have a lot of relatives I've never met around Hempstedshire and Devonshire England that I would love to correspond with, it's just finding them that is the hard part.

Also check the family Bible. A lot of families recorded important dates like birth dates, anniversaries, childrens birth dates, also dates of death.

Another location would be the local Parish where they attended Church. Sure geneology research is hard work, but well worth the time and effort.

I met a gentleman who had traced his family all the way back to Adam and Eve ... Now THAT's doing some research.

If you can come up with a date or even an approx. year of birth for either of them or where or when married or where and when they lived somewhere you might get somewhere? Maybe next time you can add another detail or two.
