Find Ancestors

Trying to find any infomation for my father Alan Gough believed to of been born 8/06/1938 cant find no birth details..father believed to be a Sidney Gough? only closest record is someone born in Heywood Lancs . birth cert states no fathers only mothers name as Marion(a Adopted quote is written on certificate?).All siblings born in Epping Essex area

Hi Steve
You need to tell us everything you know for certain. Do you know where he was born?

You say that Alan's father's name could be Sidney and also mention Epping.

Maybe this is the marriage

Marriages Jun 1936 (>99%)
Freshwater Winifred V Gough Epping 4a 1160
Gough Sidney Freshwater Epping 4a 1160

There is only only birth reg coming up for this couple on free BMD but there could be more on Ancestry



Christine

have you looked for his siblings birth detals.finding them may help locate your dads birth

Have you got your parents' marriage cert? Are they the ones who married in Epping in 1961?

Is your father alive?

Is this the birth you mentioned.

had a PM from Steve as follows
yes i know my dads siblings well they are as much in the dark as well i have a copy of a birth cert that is the closet match to my dad but the dob is 15/05/1938 born in heywood lancs mother a Marion Gough no fathers name

i have advised him to reply on the thread rather than PM and have said i will copy & paste his reply as above

Steve
are your dads siblings the ones with mmn Freshwater and is that marriage posted the marriage of their parents?
Did your dad share the same parents?

This may or may not be the child of Winifred's relation (maybe cousin) and I'm wondering if for some reason he was taken in by the Goughs and raised as their own. Everything is right about it and it would explain why there is no birth registered in the name of Gough.
Just a theory which I haven't had time to research yet.

yes all my dads siblingshave same mmm freshwater & they also shared the same parents as per marriage certificate

so did your dad name Sidney as his dad on his marriage cert to your mum.

there is a gap between John & Ann when he could have been born I am wondering if his birth just wasnt passed on to the GRO .
You may find something if you apply to the local records Office with his name and dob
