Have you got your Father's birth certificate, with parents' names on it?

Added, have found it with O'Shea.

As it has her maiden name, and Father's name, then they are claiming they were married, or actually were married elsewhere?

His death cert will be your most useful document....it will include his age (if he died up to 1969), or his DOB (if he died after 1969)

As he didn't marry, you have no way of finding out the name of his father, except from his birth cert
