You're very welcome Robert.

If you purchase his birth and marriage certs you may be able to confirm his father's name, that's if his father's name had been entered on either cert.....you may just get lucky.

A very special thankyou to Ozi and Christina - I Just cannot belive what you have been able to do for me

Best regards
