Hi, does anyone know why i can find no records of my father, other than his birth/death/first marriage? I cant find no census or family records, or the marriage record for him and my mother. Ive found loads out on mums side, but hes a mystery lol

Hi Rowena,

Have you considered the fact that your parents were not married.

If you post what details you have on here there are always plenty of people who will look for you.

To be able to give accurate advice, we need some dates.

And some idea of where you have have looked............

The latest available census is 1911......was he born by then?

Gleaming info from your mothers details..........is this your fathers birth details???

Your birth cert is no indication of where your parents were born..........

Once you found your father's birth reg'n, you could have found the info about his parents on freebmd

is this his death?

The info on the death cert is only 'as known' to the informant....and could be wrong.

As you mother was much younger, he may have knocked a couple of years off his age

His age and father's name will be on the cert of his first marriage..............

yes thats his death, thankyou for all this info, i honestly couldnt find anything :p ill be honest, i never know where to start

thanks again xx

Was your mother born in Coventry?

Have you found a death for your father's first wife?

If not, perhaps your father wasn't free to marry your mother?
