	Worth remembering that men whose birth was registered as Henry or Harold were often known a Harry.
	Researching: Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Rosalie, that's the same as I posted, which I did to eliminate the Henry/Harry confusion ...... And as stated, get the wedding certificate to get his details Thank you

	Rosalie Yes that maybe the ref for the cert but it doesn't give the info you need from it . You need to buy the cert to see their ages and fathers names
