Find Ancestors

my husband mark has had no contact with his fathers side of the family since a child,but would love to find out about them.Sadly his father died in 1996 having remarried and had another son,His father was from liverpool originaly but moved to swindon in the 1960s when marrying pamela leather ,i believe his mother was peggy and he had a sister margaret.peggy later married a mcbride and had 3 sons.hope somebody can help..many thanks carol

What was his father's DOB - even approximately?
Do you know Peggy's maiden name when your husband was born ?

he was born in 1944 and she was unmarried so i would have said watson ,but in the birth register for about that time i came across the name hayes so im not sure,thanks for your interest x

thanks for the info,brian is father unknown as a far as i know,mother had 2 children before marrying somebody else. x carol

The only Watson / Hayes marriage I located in the early 1940's is given below. I checked from 1944 back to 1940.

This area and woman's first name is not right, so NOT hopeful this is them.

Lillian A Hayes m William G Watson
Sep 1/4 1944 - West Ham

However, please remember, if you think the 1944 birth you found is the right one, the father may have registered his name alongside the mother (even if not married) and the child will therefore take the father's name. The only way to be sure is to order the certificate from the GRO and specify that you only want it produced if the mothers name is Peggy/Margaret

Once last thought, it may be worth looking for Brian's sister's birth record to see if that is Watson/Hayes as well.

As above, all it may mean is they share the same father but NOT necessarily they were married - just registered the children together.

from what i know which is very liitle she lived by the dockes and the fathers are alleged to be unknown sailors apparently it wasnt talked about,i found a record for a brian watson birth 1944 which had mother peggy hayes,this doesnt ring a bell with my motherin law who said she was peggy watson who later married fred mc bride and had 3 sons thanks carol

Was Brian or his sister the youngest child ?
Have you any idea where Peggy and Fred lived when they were married ?

This might be Peggy...
Frederick G A McBride married Margaret A Watson
Jan - March quarter 1953, Liverpool N
Vol 10d Page 575

thanks for that,it seems to fit perfectly,regards carol
