Chalkie, you need to read through what you have written because you keep changing dates from 1800s to 1900s, that would help us follow it. :-)

Cath,

Can you tell us what names he gives for his parents and father's occupation from the marriage certificate please?

Do these differ from the details given on his death certificate?

When you say his father's name is not very clear, do you mean the writing? Donald is less likely for an Irishman. Could it be Daniel?
