You could get the parents' marriage cert for ages and fathers' names

Marriages Sep 1933 (>99%)
Allen Eileen E M Richardson Camberwell 1d 1853
Richardson Charles F Allen Camberwell 1d 1853

Have you looked at the 1939 register?

1939

Charles F Richardson 21 Feb 1909 Male Welder & Cutter Married 4 1
Eileen E M Richardson 29 May 1917 Female Waitress Married 4 2
The record for this person is officially closed. Can I get around this?

Edward G Richardson 21 Jan 1935 Male School Single 4 4

Try looking now for birth on freebmd, or - better still - on the GRO index which will give you MMN

Are you the person who posted the other thread?

Get the 1933 marriage cert - without it, everything is guesswork.

Even though that thread is not yours Pauline do read through it as something on it may help?

So, any thoughts on the info found for you?

Or did you have it all already?

There isn't a birth reg in England/Wales to match the info above, so, unless you invest in the marriage cert, you will never find out.
