What was Frederick Finney's age when he married in 1946?

Thank you Jonesey,yes that is right for Patrick,Frederick was 24 when he married.I do not know who my Father is and where the name Griffin came from..

So, your father isn't mentioned on your birth cert? What name does your mother give for herself on it? Is it Griffin, Finney or Morrison?

Hi Potty,my Mother put Griffin formerly Morrison and no father.

Hello Jonesey,Having had a look at Noras wedding cert. to Frederick Finney in 1946 it says Patrick was deceased,do not know how I missed it.

Louise, do you have a sister? There is another Griffin MMN Morrison birth in Manchester in 1956.

Hi Potty,I do not think I have a sister,the birth I think you mean is Carmel but she has a different Mothers name.

Louise,

The Patrick Morrison who was born on 22/9/1904 did not die until 1971.

This means that either Nora lied about her father being dead when she married in 1946 or the birth certificate that you have for Patrick Morrison is not of Nora's father. It could of course also be a possibility that Nora did not know her fathers whereabouts in 1946 and just assumed that he was dead.

Good fun this genealogy isn't it. :-)

What name did Frederick Finney give for his father on the 1946 marriage certificate?

Yes Jonesey that is what I have,his Fathers name on marriage cert.is also Frederick.

Louise, the other birth I found has MMN Morrison - the same as yours. I can't find a marriage that ties up with that birth either.

Thank you for looking Polly.Guess I will never know.Also Will never know where my surname Griffin comes from.
