The only way to find out if the 1941 marriage was your relly is to get a copy of the cert for his father's details

What a person was 'known' as, doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the correct name

I have an insurmountable brick wall.......Help.please.......

2 brothers that I am unable to find a death for. Croydon family.''

Stephen Arthur Jackson born 1904.... married Amy Alice Snow 1925.
must have been divorced as Amy Alice married again 1938.
Stephen back living with parents (electoral roll 1939)

Benjamin James Jackson born 1910. No further information on him

One of the brothers known as Jack according to family information died at dunkirk. ? Certainly during the war. No one left alive can give me any further information.
Have not been able to find either on CWGC or FMP ww2 death records.

There is also a connection to Hull..... !!! ..... Have found a marriage of a Arthur S Jackson to Muriel Thompson Sep Q. 1941. Hull ?? But if he is Jack then1940 Dunkirk Death is not him...

Have tried to explain as best I can..... Thank you.
