No fitzgerald/hodkinson Marriage found in 1950/1/2 or 1953 .....nor in 1st 2 quarters of 1954...

If we can find the Marriage,it should give Godfreys age on the cert...

No death found for a Mary H fitzgerald in 1954/5/6/7.....

I have found a birth for a Godfrey in 1915 and a Mary H Hodkinson in 1918.
That would make Mary about 36 when she had Michael.

Can't go any further till we know more.
Goodnight all

The marriage could have been 10 years or more before if mum was 35 when he was born. He may have been the youngest child.

Hi do you think that the brother died before Michael was born?

ValT Report 16 Nov 2008 22:29

hello,

I found this death

Death
Name: FITZGERALD, Godfrey
Registration District: Southwark
County: London
Year of Registration: 1997
Month of Registration: December
Date of Birth: 2 February 1913
District No: 2511A
Reg No: A9A
Ent No: 267
DOR: 1297

The date of birth is different to the entry I gave you on previous post but I think the 5 has been mistaken for a 3 . There is no Godfrey born in 1913.
If you purchased this certificate it will give you an informant which could be helpful.
