Hi

We are trying to trace Derek Cecil Gough formerly of Madeley, Telford. We know he married Ivy Morrey in 1951 and went on to have 2 boys but unfortunately they divorced and we don't know if Derek remarried and went on to have more children.

Please contact us if you may know his whereabouts or have any information.

Thank you

Emma and Si

2 1930 births on FreeBmd give
Derek Gough
Derek J Gough

The marriage gives Derek C Gough

Is one incorrectly transcribed or has he acquired a middle name? These are important when trying to find someone.

Hopefully he is still living, but at the age c85 , he may have passed away.

When did he divorce? That helps when looking for a potential remarriage.

He was Derek C Gough; I have found the marriage certificate but I have no idea when they divorced as we are not in touch with Ivy (my husbands grandmother). I understand with his age that he may have passed away but I am still holding a glimmer of hope, even if we find family members.

Thanks for looking!

Does the DOb tie in with Pam's find?

We don't really want you to post it on the board in case he is still alive, but the month would help.

Thank you all for looking for me, I am thinking he may have passed from the records you have found, I will try and find out the correct date of birth. If I can find this,do you know if I can find out if he had children, I am new to this site?

Thanks again

If the dob ties in with your knowledge, then you could either order the DC, or a copy of the Will.

If you don’t have his BC, it might be a good idea to purchase it from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ @ £9.25

The Will can be order of £10 from https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills
You’d have to repeat the search. It might name additional children or the NOK

There are a number of ER entries for Derek C Gough on http://www.192.com/all/search/ at least 2 are current. You could probably find he exact address on http://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Search.asp then cross reference the post code for free on 192.com to check which entry is for whom.

If you order his marriage certificate you should be able to determine the correct birth for him.

Thanks Pam, it is hard as we have nobody to confirm this with! Apparently he went on to have more children and re-marry although there are no records in the Shropshire area (he may have moved away). We are also trying to trace his children which is hard as we have no names or possible area. This is not going to be easy!

Thanks again for everyone's input we really appreciate it xx

Did you see the link I posted? Someone has requested the image of his grave as they thought it was their father's.

They might be notified if you also request the image.
