Any idea when they married? Ivy would have been in her 40s when she had Yvonne.

When did he die?

If Yvonne was the youngest - then her year of birth must be wrong if you think the marriage is in the 20's

I'm afraid I don't know if he had a middle name I really don't have much information at all thats why I want to know more. U'r right they couldn't have been married in the 20s must have been the 30s or perhaps 40s as I don't know how many siblings Yvonne had. Sorry about lack of information and thank you for replying :)

You need to buy that to get his age and father's name.
