I am very new to family trees and i am trying to find out any information on a Geoffrey cross who married my Grandmother , Beatrice Peggy Carter at Hendon Middlesex in 1944 .The record date of marriage was between September of this year and December. Geoffrey fathered a Son ( my Father ) but they parted soon after ( I have no idea when ) and my father or Grandmother never saw him again. My Grandmother never mentioned his Date of birth . He may of been a sailor but this is not certain.My grandmothers Date of birth was 12th June 1921 and she served
for a time prior to her marriage and the birth of my father in the WAF.

Sorry my mistake,this is the one.Carter was my grandmothers name from her second marriage to my Grandad.Sell was her maiden name.
I really dont know where to go from here? Have you any ideas?
How do i find out his birthplace,DOB and perhaps family.
Thank you

Get the marriage certificate for his father's name, occupations, ages etc.
