vivian hawley, married to angus mcgrath kensignton london uk

Question

Hello

I am trying to help a person who was adopted at birth. his fathers name was angus Mcgrath and mother Vivian Hawley. Mark also seems to have a brother called Steven J Mcgrath born in Dec 1964, who seems to also have been adopted .

Mark was born in 1966 paddington hospital london uk. His parents family, were living at westbourne parkd road w.10 kensington london.

So far I have found the marriage of Vivian and Angus and her birth, which is

noted as Dec 1946 hammersmith somerset (I assume this is an error and the town town is london)  I found her mother was White, and she possibly had a sister called Shirley and brother Gregory, but i am not so sure. If anyone is able to hlep, i am sure Mark will greatly appreciate it.

hi anonymous, you seem to know already mark's parents were married and had another child (details below), but you don't sound as if you have purchased the certificates from the GRO which you should, as it will give you a great deal more data to support other searches for siblings, ancestors and thus other descendants.

 

You are unlikely to find where and when Angus was born without his marriage certificate as he doesn't seem to have been born in England, or at least not with Angus as his first name.
