Father was listed as Deceased

cagsie

cagsie Report 24 Jul 2009 13:10

yeah, but do remember that he may have lied about his age for some reason, or the person who registered his death just got it wrong

i've been caught out that way a couple of times!!

have you got a marriage certificate, that would name his father?

or the names of any siblings?

what was his profession stated as on death cert? who registered his death?

Lee

Lee Report 24 Jul 2009 13:02

Not sure if thats him either as he would have been 40 when he died if born the July - Sept 1960 and died in the nov 1900
