probably why then... births were between 1929 and 1949 although the ones that came up were 1929,1931 and 1939 although there was one in 1935 that didnt show plus the 3 that were born in the 40s..not to worry was just wonderering how it worked

Jax,

What years are you looking at?

Once you get past 1932, coverage is a bit spotty but they are always transcribing.

Betty,

I don't want to post details here but you can search for yourself on FreeBMD:

Select Births, put in Parry for the surname and Bill for Spouse/Mother surname.

You'll see there was another son called Harry.

Rose

Sorry Rose, but could you give me details of the 4 boys born to William and Martha Parry. Martha was my nan and William was her second husband, I know about 3 boys , William, Ernest and Stanley
thanks
Betty

Hi Rose, where would I look to find a baptism ?
Betty

Martha married a William Parry in 1922 and had 4 more boys.

The eldest was named after his father, this makes me think Ronald was not the son of William.

Rose

You could see if you can find a baptism for him. His father might be mentioned.

I know what you mean, none of my older family members are living, I wish they were here, so many questions left unanswered.

Its funny how you dig up these things too late, so many things I would have liked to tell my grandparents

thanks Jax, I suppose it doesn't really matter who his father was, he did have the same mother as my mum, so he would have been her half brother and not her full brother, I don't think my mum knew that.,

Im no expert but if he was registered as ricketts fathers name would be unknown I would think
Unless your grandmother went on to marry him at a later date

Yes Jax that's Henry, he was my grandfather and going by the dates he cannot be Ronald Ricketts father. I would love to know who his father was.

Hi Jax, Henry Ricketts was killed in France in the 1st World War, he died in June 1918

Hi Sat/nav, Ronalds mum must have had him out of marriage because her husband Henry Ricketts died in June 1918 and Ronald was born in late 1920, his mum, who was my nan did remarry but not until 1922, maybe her second husband was Ronalds father .

where did henry his dad die?

thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Betty

My understanding is that a child born to a widow is considered legitimate no matter the time span.
