Find Ancestors

My Uncle was James Harold Dore. He was born on 19th May 1914c. Our family doesn’t know anything about his past. I have looked up birth records for the dates and found a record of a birth in Hackney to a Mother with the name of Dore . All that we were told was that his Mother died in childbirth and his Dad died in the war, so an Aunt took him in. If this is true or not we don’t know. If anyone can give me any help I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

How is he connected to your family?

James Dore was married to my Mother’s sister.

I don’t know if he gave a a Fathers name when he got married, sorry.

I will see what my cousin can find in her paperwork as she is James and Winifred’s daughter. Thank you for you replies.

I was suggesting getting the marriage cert for its info , wasn’t asking if he named a father

Ok sorry, will do that.

You may never know his father's name, but the birth cert will name his mother..

Thank you, I will send for it, it would great if we could find out who thevAunt was who took him in.

When the 1921 census comes online hopefully you may find him and who he is living with

Yes that will help a lot.

When you get his birth cert which will name his mum then you can look for her on the census and search for a death to see if it ties with the story about her dying in childbirth
