My mother's maternal surname was cook and I think she used that as there are a lot of omissions on my birth certificate, my father's name, his job, the Willis had been removed and she reverted back to Chambers. Thank you all for your help and support so far. Xx

I see your birth record and it's only recorded as Cook mmn Willis so reg as if they were married

Presume then they didn't stay together as you are looking for your dad

Not seeing any marriiage though

No, me neither.

Could you say when your Mother died, and under what surname, and any chance she married before Richard Cook?

I can't see a marriage for those two names in England or Wales.

Welcome to genesreunited, Jayne.

Have you got an approximate year of birth for Richard (age on the wedding certificate?)

Hi All, I've reached the ripe old age of 50 and have decided to look for my dad. I have the name Richard David Cook, my mother Sandra Mary Cook formerly Willis, they lived at 41 Elwood Street, Islington, London. The names could be fictitious, my mum died 16 years ago and took the secret with her.
