Can't see any more births with mother's maiden name Froggatt?

or a marriage for male Searstone to female Froggatt?

Neither can I Catherine

Welcome to the boards, Sandra.

Could you tell us when and where you think your father married.

Thank-you

Second marriage perhaps for Sarah?

Think you're going to have to buy the birth certificate, I'm afraid.

Forget the above marriage looks like the wrong people.

Birth registered under 2 surnames. You will need the birth certificate for the names of his parents.

This Garner / Froggatt possible marriage in the right area but you still need that birth certificate!

If you could give us some names it may help to sort this out.
Thanks

Loads of births Garner mmn. Froggatt!
4 in Huddersfield
2 Barnsley and
1 in Mansfield

and another in Chesterfield.

ring any bells?

(sorry that should have been Garner not Farner - have edited)

Only one marriage Garner to Froggatt:-

Marriages Jun 1911 (>99%)
Froggatt Margaret Huddersfield 9a 649
Garner William Huddersfield 9a 649

It was the Garner / Froggatt births I was looking at Catherine. That's why I was thinking that the mother wasn't free to marry hence the posting of the 1911 marriage.

Ooop, sorry just noticed rootgatherer has already posted above marriage.

Yes rootgatherer I was thinking down the same lines. It is very possible that William was illegitimate. Birth certificate will solve this one.

No problem Catherine - at least we were thinking along the same lines. ;-)

I'll let Sandie know that she has replies to her query :-)
