Found Brian in his tree. ;) Got his DOB, which made it possible to find his birth in the GRO index and thus his mother's surname. (If only people realized what can be found from things at this site, hm?)

Did your parents marry in 1944, Brian? If so, that marriage certificate will give you your dad's father's name and occupation, if he stated it.

If you need the reference info for ordering the certificate, it can be sent to you privately.

Brian, may I ask if your parents married? I can't see him either, assuming you have roughly correct info. There are a couple of Jack's born Norfolk, and John elsewhere. Could do with father if you have a marriage cert, if only to locate area.

Hello

I am trying to trace my father John Shorten (known as Jack)

He was born in 1917, we think in Norfolk.

I’m having trouble finding any record of his birth on any of the sites.

Can anyone help; anyone know of a John Shorten?
