Good move..........

I DO wish we could find something to help you, but, at the moment, I fear that it doesn't seem likely.

I will of course remove his name immediately, no not named on birth certificate purely just hearsay. Thank you all

Jacqueline Report 22 Dec 2014 22:30

Sad, indeed, but unless the man is named on your birth cert, you could be maligning a perfectly innocent person, who is not deceased.

Also, as you have not had his permission, it would be prudent to remove him from your tree now that you know he didn't die in 1966

Lockett...did you see the post of Margee, above?

Were you ever contacted by this person on one of your previous threads? He seemed to know your Tommy Marr.

You may never uncover the truth, but this may be a chink of light....contact the poster (probably better by private message)

I was advised by birth family members that the above named was my biological father and that he died whilst my birth mother was pregnant in a motorcyle accident. However I now feel that this was a pack of lies. I'm guessing he was a married man and as my biological mother has passed away I realise that I will never uncover the real truth.

I think you're right, Jacqueline, I'll just let it go. But she did say that it was extremely important to her.

I rather think that isn't going to happen any time soon, based on previous history

I wish the poster would return to the thread with her comments. It is obvious that she has been led astray and this man did not die when she was told he did. There is no record at all in England, Scotland or Wales.

As he is in the poster's tree, she must have been told that she is related to him, and how.

I wonder who told her that he died when and how he supposedly did.

Was this perhaps to try to deter her from looking for him?

Margee

'Two years' was in 2009..........so it's now seven.

Anne/ Happy/Locket has never in all that time actually tried to verify the death info she was given on here.

The poster has Thomas Marr born 1945, Easington in her tree.

The birth?

No the poster is looking for someone more recent. In one of her earlier threads she mentions the name of the lady that he used to go out with.

Were motorcycles around in 1866??

If they were, the first death would be recorded somewhere.

HIs death at a young age isnt registered in Scotland,

MargaretM Report 18 Dec 2014 21:26

I'm amazed that the poster hasn't returned considering, in her words "this is extremely important to me". Also considering that for 2 years she's been working on the assumption that that 1966 death was her man when actually it was an 1866 death.

The poster was advised some years ago to try Scotland for the death

There's no death of a Thomas Marr on FreeBMD between 1955-1970 other than elderly men.
