Was your husband's father born in England or abroad?

Thank you for your quick response. That was the correct marriage record.

His father was born abroad.

Do you know if his father was a lot older than his mother? It's just that this is the only likely birth I can find (if he swapped round his first two names):-

Can't find a marriage for Wright and Taber.

If the Canadian birth record I posted is wrong then this could possibly be your husband's father (more likely I think):-

Are you the Enid in Florida? I assume it's Joan's parentage you're looking for? I think you'll need to invest in the MC, I'm afraid.

Did your husband's father pass away in 1980? There is a death notice.
