They seem to be centered in Bath. Marriages Sep 1913 Clarke Geraldine Colborne-West Bath 5c 1155 Colborne-West Albert H Clarke Bath 5c 1155 West Albert H C Clarke Bath 5c 1155
There is something "off" about this couple as they seem to appear on the census as West: Marriages Dec 1884 Colbourne Albert Henry Bath 5c 1169 Padfield Martha Ann Bath 5c 1169
I think I have the right people!!!

Edit: centered? oh who cares

pm from Sarah:
"Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The surname I am looking for is Colbourne-West. I can only find my maternal Grand-Father and maternal Great Grand-Father.
Any help would be appreciated"
Explained that we'll need first names and birth details and to put the info on here.

If its records your searching then try entering only the later part of the surname then try just the former part of the surname (one size does not fit all)

Added; An example for you
David Lloyd-George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor ex prime minister born 17 January 1863
His birth was registered as David Lloyd George but you will find him on the index as surname George his family name is Lloyd-GEORGE fathers name William George mother was Elizabeth George maiden name Lloyd
Births Mar 1863 GEORGE David Lloyd Chorlton 8c 571
although registered as a single surname on the index it can create the problem of identifying the correct birth as shown above and even the transcribers cannot agree their are to post-ems for his birth contradicting each other
some are on the index as double barreled but not all
also freebmd, search the name Gillespie it returns results for Gillespie
repeat the search using Phonetic search surnames and it will return results including, eg, Gillespie-brown

Hello Sarah - I've never personally heard of such a site, I think it's more a case of knowing how to manipulate the search facilities on the most commonly used sites.
Do you want to give us an example of what you're trying to find?

Having trouble with the brnach of my family tree that has a double barrelled surname. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any websites that specialise in this area of family tree research?
