Looking for any info on Walter James Doak born 15th December 1929 in Ireland (probably Northern Ireland,Belfast area) married in Barrow-in-Furness in 1955.I've found his death record (from Find My Past)-with his birth details on,& marriage record,he died in 1984,but can't find any other details at present.I'd presume he was still in Northern Ireland in 1939 as I can't find him on the register.
Any info appreciated.

Malyon - what makes you think he wasn't born in Ireland? I can't find a birth for him anywhere in 1929.

That's the fellow malyon,but I can't find any info whatsoever on POB.It gives his DOB on his death entry,but,I can't find any record of it on any site? Nothing on FreeBMD,Genes Reunited,Findmypast ? Spoken to his son,who originally said Donegal as his POB,but then said he thought it was Belfast area ?

Perhaps you can post the birth you found Malyon

You seem to be the only one who can find it.

Hi Kelzi

This is the link to the free site we use to search for births, marriages and deaths.....

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I don't know what site Malyon is talking about........bdm uk??

Kelzi

Kelzi Report 2 Jul 2019 17:04

I use that one regularly-freebmd,but couldn't find anything on there. He's elusive this guy.

Looked on https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

"For data protection reasons, if you are using the internet to search the register, some of the records will not be available to view. You will be able to access the following records:

• birth records over 100 years old
• marriage records over 75 years old
• death records (including World War II death records) over 50 years old"

If you have father's name from marriage cert for JW you may find the marriage on there ( there are 14 Doak marriages in the 4 year period before birth, just for an idea)
