Yeah hopefully will shed some light. Typical the records office being closed on my week off! Thanks for your help.

The sister's marriage certificate may shed some light on this.

It's a puzzle, though.

I wonder, if, in fact, you have the wrong family on the census.

When you get to see the sister's marriage cert, if she also says 'Albert' then you could have another search for the family.

Good luck!

I've found what may be him but under moulds. His sister's name is the same and it shows his brother as Albert E Mould (the name showing as father on marriage certificate). On the census it shows father as George Mould and I can see he died in 1918 a year before Horace got married. I did think it might be because George had died but Albert died in 1911. I'm waiting to get his sisters marriage cert to see who it says her father is but our records office is shut this week.

My grandfather 'invented' a father for his marriage certificate. He was a proud man and no doubt did not want anyone to know he was illegitimate.

No father on his birth certificate or that of his brother.

He used a mixture of his stepfather's first name (or his landlord, both were called George) and the occupation of his landlord (Groom).

Have you found Horace on a census with his family? I expect you have thought of that already, though :-)

Hi there. I wonder if anyone can help me. I have been trying to find details of my great grandfather, Horace Mould, and have managed to obtain his marriage certificate. However, the person showing as his father on the marriage certificate is the person we thought was his brother and not old enough to be his dad. Has anyone ever found that a different relative has been named as father on a marriage certificate for any reason? Thanks
