Why don't you order that first marriage certificate, Rowena? At least you'll get his father's name.

Thankyou,

and i suppose being unmarried with kids wasnt a good thing in them days,

if they was unmarried i suppose thats why they didnt have contact with their families....and moved to a new area. Kinda making sense now x

I am pleased you are finally making some good progress with your family tree Rowena.
It is never easy, we all have hurdles that stem the progress but it is lovely to know that it is all slowly coming together for you... x

true :)

something ive never thought about tbh

she wore a wedding ring, and had name lambert.....

maybe it was never legal..

oh well, its a reason why i cant find any info lol..

So, if they didn't divorce.............................!

Certainly no sign of a marriage to your mother that I can see.....

That 'first' marriage cert would seem to be absolutely essential..........

sorry Flick, just saw your post, yes mum was from coventry, i never thought he may have faked an age as he was 20 yrs older than mum. I believe his first wife is still alive, not 100% tho.

yes, this is his first marriage :) my half siblings mum

Was your mother born in Coventry?

Have you found a death for your father's first wife?

If not, perhaps your father wasn't free to marry your mother?

yes thats his death, thankyou for all this info, i honestly couldnt find anything :p ill be honest, i never know where to start

thanks again xx

The info on the death cert is only 'as known' to the informant....and could be wrong.

As you mother was much younger, he may have knocked a couple of years off his age

His age and father's name will be on the cert of his first marriage..............

is this his death?
