Thank you for the responses received in relation to my enquiry thread25th February - much appreciated. I apologise for not responding earlier but only manage to do this in my spare time at weekends.
I have messaged the two members (LANGDON) who list Jack Landon in their tree and await their response when they next on the site.
I have managed to obtain a marriage certificate for Jack and Margaret who were married on 28th April 1934 at St Josephs RC Church (Longsight). My family lost touch a number of years ago and am informed that they had no children. Unfortunately my grand parents are deceased now so am only going on snipits of info.
My Great Grandfather I believe was born in Dublin but have not managed to trace his DOB as of yet - He was John Murtagh who lived in Kilbarrack Co.Dublin who married Jane Lawlor (2 Carrickhill, Co. Dublin)on the 27th April 1907 at the Roman Catholic Church SS Peter and Paul (Ireland) - they had 3 children John Gerard Murtagh (My grand father) Patrick Murtagh (born I believe in Ireland from the Census and died in Kendal at the age of 20 yrs to which I have the death certificate) and Margaret Murtagh who married Jack Landon.
On Jack Landons Marriage Certificate it shows Jack father named Douglas Landon.

I would like to thank Jax, Patchem and especially Reggie who has given me a lot to look into in the threads above. Very much appreciated. Thank you.
