Again many thanks Christine,

I'll get on and order the marriage certificate.
Kind regards,
Howard
P.S. Are you a UK researcher, or based somewhere else. Just interested!!

---

Yes, I'm in the UK :)

---

Well you've provided me with excellent advice...thank you.
Don't suppose you know how to trace a Grandfather whose name was not shown on the birth certificate?

---

Ah no!  I'm afraid that is a dead end.  It most likely means that the mother was not married - the father would have had to be at the registration and agree to have his name on the certificate.

---

Thought that would be the case.
Thanks anyway :O)
Already ordered the Marriage Cert!
