You need to work backwards from what you know.
So, get the marriage certificate.
They can be obtained from the GRO, and you can use the information that I have posted.

There is a possible birth in Edmonton for Joan Akers, and in 'London' for many for John Barry. Are you also looking for Joan?

Sophie,
Welcome to the boards.
I think you would do better to start your own posting.
Could you say where your father was born, and where you believe his father was born, with some birth dates, if known, and mother's names if known also.
Thank-you.

Added; Lee probably born 1962.

Patchem info from Marriage cert.

Marriage date 08/02/1958
Peter Ronald Dady 22yrs Batchelor Railway Guard 144 Bromley High Street B**** (can't read) E3 William Dady Interior Decorater
TO
Agnes Marie Donohue 20yrs Spinster no occupation address as above James Christopher Donohue (deceased) Merchant Seaman
I realise age does not truily match for Agnes, but one of witnesses listed is a J.Barry So I am fairly hopeful this is the right Agnes.

Patchem/ Gwyn Thank you both, info you have supplied confirms info I have.
The Death Cert. of Christopher not a lot of help. Informant listed as Officer of Grimsby Council. ( Christopher died in North Sea, result of enemy action).
Agnes M Donohoe (Donohue) I believe marr'd Peter R Dady Mar.1958 Poplar
I also believe Christopher marr'd Bridget Manning Jul? 1940
On paper Iam certain Christopher and Anastasia are brother and sister
but how do I prove it??
Thank you for your help.

Ancestry has marriages for Agnes C, or Agnes.
The Agnes marriage is in Woolwich, 1960, to a Mr Barry, but she also possibly dies as Agnes Barry with wrong birth date (corresponding to an Agnes Donohoe born in Ireland in 1936).

Jax/ Patchem Thank you both for your input. Both confirms what I have.
I do have hand writen Birth certificate, but large parts are not fully readable
D.O.B 2?/01/1911
Anastasia O'connor Marr'd James Donohoe 1929 Dublin.
Anastasia Donohoe is listed on my Baptism cert. as my Godmother. dated 5/12/1937, I know it was a RC Church in Hammersmith area.
I believe Anastasia had a Brother Christopher Joseph b Dec 1915 Dublin
Again have an almost unreadable birth cert.
It is possible he died in July 1941 Merchant Navy Seaman
I also believe Anastasia had Daughter Agnes Donohoe b Jul 1937 Hammersmith, any subsiquent info on her would be helpful.
Thank you for your time.

pm from David to say this is Anastasia's death

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006
about Anastasia Marie Barry Name: Anastasia Marie Barry

Date of Registration: Mar 2001
Age at Death: 90
Registration district: Havering
Inferred County: Essex
Register Number: HB95

Maiden name was O'connor born Ireland previously married to Donohoe two children born in the 40s Anastasia and Christopher in the name of Barry/O'connor

Maybe her death cert was registered by one of her children

I would like to hear from anyone who's surname, or maiden name is, BARRY. who had either grandparents, or great grandparents, Anastasia and John Barry.
They might be able to help me with a vital piece of information , in my research.

Thank you.
