Did your parents marry in 1984 ??

Have you got their marriage cert for ages and fathers names ?

I think perhaps his MMN was Clare. Lilo is short for Lilian and Carolyn instead of Caroline.

Marriages Sep 1949 (>99%)

Burnham on crouch comes under Maldon reg district so that 1949 marriage for his parents looks good

What is his fathers name is on the marriage cert ?

Looks as if he was born in 1959 not 1956

Take a look for births on FreeBMD for Chapman mmn Clare and many of the names of siblings you name look right too

So she passed away still in Essex

Date of Registration: Jul 2001
Age at Death: 81
Registration district: Chelmsford
Inferred County: Essex
Register Number: A68G

It maybe worth getting the cert to see who the informant was. Hopefully famiiy that can be followed up on

The sister Doreen is in Poole Dorset with her family to 2002

Maybe they opted out after then

Usually if the 1939 reg info is open it means the person has died

It looks as if she is still alive will pm you her address. Maybe she knows about her siblings whereabouts including Robert

Well spotted Kennneth. I didn't double check that when the later info was given .

Will pm Kaylee to come back and look in the members trees
