Find Living Relatives

I'm not convinced of that link either, but will investigate further....

The father would not necessarily be recorded as deceased. It would depend if that question was asked.

When my grandmother married in 1900, her father's information was recorded in the usual way with no mention that he had died in 1876.

I'm not convinced about the half-sister Nancy Day entry

Marriage cert reads

September 26th 1931

Father's name Henry Charles Day CABINET MAKER

ErikaH or AG- Wouldn't DECEASED have been recorded under Rank or Profession of father, if this was the same Henry who died in 1915??

And this Nancy was born in 1912, but isn't listed on Henry's Pension Card as a child dependant.........yet, Henry's widow Violet didn't remarry until 1916....

thank you so much :-)

This suggests that Henry Charles DAY died and his wife Violet Isabel later married as Violet I DAY to Thomas STANLEY.

The children of that later marriage will be recorded with their mother's maiden name of SPILLER ( her birth surname )

These children will be half sister/ brother to Violet's DAY children of her 1st marriage.

so she was a widow? then married Thomas Stanley?
