Patricia, I find it very odd that Genes advised you to start a new thread when in their guidelines they state one thread per family.

Do let us know what the certificate says when you get it.

Hello Julie, MarieCeleste and Astra, and thankyou for your valid comments. I posted a new 'search' as Genes reunited suggested; even though they knew I had an existing one. Additionally my trail on the threads had not yielded any new information. It is interesting MarieCeleste that you wondered if Charles Neal had married after Clara Jane Davis/Tickner had died., because I too had similar thoughts. Although in reality my Father would have been aware of this; having said that he didn't know that his parents were not actually married
I am awaiting the delivery of my Father's birth certificate., so at least it will give me an address and profession/s.
Ironically, on my Father's birth entry on Genes Reunited it gives his Mother's maiden name as Davis, but I had no idea that it also states Tickner and Neal as his parents.
Thankyou all so very much once again., and I will add to the thread as soon as the birth certificate arrives.
Regards to all
Patricia

Well spotted Julie.

Patricia, why did you start a new thread instead of nudging your previous one up the board?

For future reference, if you go to the "My Threads" link down the left hand side of these pages - you will then find your existing threads and you can add to them, otherwise we end up duplicating info already found.

I thought the surname ran a bell

Did he marry after Clara Jane died?

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1931
Neal Charles T Wright Chertsey 2a 254
Wright Vera C Neal Chertsey 2a 254

If this is him then the certificate should give his father's name, etc.


I think this may be the lady he married:

Name: Vera Charity Wright
Record Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 4 Jul 1903
Baptism Date: 15 Aug 1903
Father's Name: Arthur James Sydney Wright
Mother's name: Charity Wright
Parish or Poor Law Union: St Mary the Virgin, Twickenham
Borough: Richmond Upon Thames
Register Type: Parish Registers

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006
Name: Vera Charity Neal
Birth Date: 4 Jul 1903
Date of Registration: Mar 1984
Age at Death: 80
Registration district: Westminster

Patricia - who was the informant on Charles' death certificate? Might it have been a relative that would help us trace him?

Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Dec 1942
Neal Charles T 68 Surrey Mid.E. 2a 337

Looks like he died quite some time after Clara Jane:

Deaths Sep 1925
Tickner Clara J 47 Epsom 2a 10

On the birth certificates of the children what was his occupation given as?

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

Hello Patricia, what do you mean by links? Are you trying to trace his family back over?

Looks like your father was registered under both Tickner and Neal (as was Charlotte):

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Mar 1917
Neal George W Davis Epsom 2a 26
Tickner George W Davis Epsom 2a 26

I am still trying to find any links with my paternal Grandfather Charles Neal. Born Sutton/Epsom, Surrey ?1874abt - died 13.12.42 in Surrey.
His 'partner' was Clara Jane Davis/Ticknor with whom he had a daughter Charlotte Neal born 1915 and my Father George William Neal born 1917.
Other than this I know absolutely nothing about Charles and can no obvious links. Is there anyone who could enlighten me please?
I would be very appreciative.
