you are all so brilliant!!
i have actually ordered a copy of the cert of marriage as my dad is so keen to see something REAL.

he only has one picture of his grandad( i will put on here)
my dads farther passed away when he was a young boy as many men at that time did with TB.
so his past never got passed on, if that makes sense.

and my nanan never remarried...
thank you and will keep you informed of updateds and please if any more info it is always welcome

Looks like you might need his marriage cert? Or do you have them on a census by any chance?
