is this her marriage?

HOWE Joseph Morpeth 10b 762
SEEDHOUSE Drusilla Morpeth 10b 762


If so, this is the family in 1911 -

HOUSEHOLD HOWE DRUSILLIA F 1886 25 Morpeth Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD HOWE GLADYS F 1908 3 Morpeth Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD HOWE JOSEPH M 1911 2 MONTHS Morpeth Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD HOWE JOSEPH M 1884 27 Morpeth Northumberland


Have you a birth certificate for your father? If so, what does it say exactly?

I am not finding a birth of a William Thomas Seedhouse in 1927. Where was he born?

Why would he be surnamed Seedhouse if his mother married a Howe? Even if he was illegitimate he would still carry his mothers name which in 1927 would be Howe?

PM recd from Susan -

williams surname was walker as was my maiden name i was curious as to why

My reply -

Had another look at your original posting. If your father was William Thomas Seedhouse, I'm not understanding why your maiden name was Walker. Am I missing something?

Further PM from Susan -

my father was called william thomas seedhouse walker.Walker was my maiden name. my father was born in 1927 was in the armed forces.that is about all i know

I think the birth I posted on 20th August was your father William T S Walker, mother's name Seedhouse.

Think you need to purchase that certificate to see what information it gives you as to William's father.
