Find Ancestors

Can anyone help I am trying to track down the birth certificate of my father, however have 3 different years of birth, His death certificate in 1979 gives d.o.b. as 25/06/1923, however his marriage certificate in 1947 gives it as 1926, however I was always told1929, as I don't know my Grandmothers Maiden name, I am having real problems tracking it down, only other info I have is that his Father Edward John Dixon was a painter & decorator in Bury St Edmunds, so I am assuming he was born in that area.

Any help greatly appreciated

My Grandmothers name was Joyce I believe, as you can see, I don't know much My father Tony also had a sister Brenda Dixon, who married a James Differ, they also lived in Bury St Edmunds.


Sharon

Sharon, was Brenda older or younger than your father?
If we can find her, she should have the same maiden name to link the two.

Did you see the Tony Dixon birth in 1928 I posted above?

Joyce K Garwood Married Edward J Dixon 1928 Q1 Bury St E 4a 1286

Births Dec 1901 (>99%)
GARWOOD Joyce Kathleen Bury St. E. 4a 947

So it looks like Tony I found above is the correct one in 1928. Possibly all your dates were wrong!

It looks like you are correct, I believe Brenda was younger than Tony, however everything else I know is wrong !!, do you know if the his date of 25th June is correct for his birthday?, and how would I start to look for Simon, I believe he is a younger brother I have never met, he had my elder sister Denise, in 1951, and me in 1965, then he split from my Mum Irene nee Wrighton, then married a Hylda Margaret and I have been told they had a son Simon, I think he should have been born between 1965-1970
Tony is not named on my birth certificate, and I only found out about Simon this morning!!

Thank you so much for all your help youare wonderful

Sharon, looking for births after approx 1929 involves checking every birth image for the name each quarter on pay per view sites such as Ancestry (or take a subscription) It is a time consuming job.

As for Tony, the birth date could be correct, there is a six week time limit for registration of births. September quarter includes registrations in July, August and September.

Thank you Keith & Julie
You are both marvels,
Do you have any tips on how I track details of births, marriages for Simon down please?

Kindest Regards

Sharon

Sharon, I have explained above. Same applies to mariages.

For that you'll need the complete index and the one i used is on ancestry which i subscribe too but..

have a look on friendsreunited or facebook for Simon

Thank you both so much for all your help.

You may have just helped me find a brother.

Kindest Regards

Sharon
