My grandfather who was born Leonard Hindley, born probably around 1917, his farther was killed in the war and was taken in by the KILLEY family . He then became known as Leonard Hindley Killey. He married Joan around 1941 - 1944 possibly in the Isle of Man, Leonard died in 1965 aged 48.

Trying to abtain a copy of both birth certificates and a copy of their marrage cert as well.

Who were their parents ??

Did they have any siblings ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou x

Hi Flick, sorry I dont know hes a mystery having died so young himself? His father died in the war when he was a baby and was taken in by another family (Killey)

Hi Flick,
Thankyou so much for that information.
Did your search find the marriage of Killey/Hughan in 1941-1944 listed anywhere ??
Even though i know the dob of both grandparents, why is is so difficult to find there births registered anywhere ?? is it because they may have been born in the isle of man ??
Thanks for your continued help .

Try this link to the IOM family history society.

http://www.iomfhs.im/default.aspx?CategoryID=21

It says they will do look-ups in their records. They might charge of course. The information on the site is from 2007, so might be out of date.

Hi
Thankyou will give it a try...

Just looked at the site suggested, yes they do charge and i have to register first. Is this the only site that holds records for the iom ? Im not even sure if that is where both of my g/parents originally came from ?

I googled Isle of Man bmds, that seemed the best, but have a go.

I can't find any marriage in England and Wales.
