Yvonne

The info you posted has the father named as 'John'

His father apparently is Frederick, Yvonne.

Hi Tracey and welcome to the boards.

You say Stanley Joseph Fletcher's father was Frederick.

Do you know who, where and when father Frederick married?

wow did not expect that response,brilliant i have been looking on and off for a few years and not got very far, the service records were very helpful i wonder if he left the army for a while, then was draughted again in 1939, because on his marrige certificate and my mums birth certificate it gives his address as cadogan place chelsea,and he was a hotel porter. i will be sending off for that death certificate and i only know his fathers name was frederick because it s on his marrige certificate thanks so much, also i cannot find a birth or census record maybe they were destroyed during the blitz

Tracey, can you say what occupation was given for Frederick please.

It may be worth considering that he wasn't born in England or Wales.

It may be that his birth surname wasn't Fletcher but that of a stepfather if he was illegitimate or his father was killed during WW1.

No idea if this is related but this is the Electoral register from 1935:

Who were the witnesses on the marriage Tracey?

my grandmother johanna;s father daniel burke and her brother daniel burke, i do not think any of the fletcher family attended, it is so difficult because things were so different then my mum was only 9 years old and my grandmother refused to talk about him.
