Was he raised by another member of the family? My mother's marriage cert [1943] gives father Samuel Jackson. Her birth cert [1915] gives father George Jackson. She was raised by Samuel, and called him father, though she knew her real father was George. I have proved that George and Samuel were brothers. What date is this? Can you find Hugh/Lewis anywhere else to confirm their existence?

Father deceased would only be documented if thats what the registrar was told by the marrying couple. Got any dates and locations - how far are we from a 1901 census possibility ?

I have just begun to search for my Husbands family. His Father was Jack Dunn and on the marriage certificate Father is named as Hugh Dunn. The family have found the original birth certificate for Jack Dunn and this names his Father as Lewis Dunn. Both certificates are originals, no one has any knowledge of a step-father and wouldn't it give 'Father deceased' along the name on the marriage certificate if this was the case. I don't understand this................can anyone help me please? Gloria
