hi, sorry to put the same name on again but just got my dads birth cert & my Grandads name is francis same as dad !! you guys helped me the other day ty, but now think i may have the wrong family & now may have ordered the wrong marriage cert for my nan & grandad i thought his name was Frank well he was known as Frank ...sorry Im woffling now :((( would it have to be francis on the marriage cert ????

I had an uncle frank but when he married and died it was Francis

sorry i thought they were married in 1919 6b 1517 but now not so sure please help x

Frank is Francis just like
Jack is John
Jim is James
Harry is Henry
etc etc

What are the FULL names of both parents?

What is the father's occupation?

Where and when was the birth registered?

Have you looked for/found any other children of the marriage?

We can't advise - or help - unless you tell us all you know

The marriage for which you have ordered the cert appears to be the only possible one............

The man's occupation should cross-refer with the birth cert...........

im sorry you guys im expecting you to know from last question ... wolverhampton way have you not got ya crysal ball wiv you today ha ha sorry
yeah i look up some but wasnt sure so ordered the marrage cert before i went further
lesley

the death entry i found that i thought could be grandads was also frank & the only one in oswestry which is where he lived at the time
i just got a bit worried when it came n said francis
thanx

so anyone know what a lion shearer is or is it a train shearer ??? lol x

Iron shearer???
Don't think he'd have survived too long as a lion shearer!!

The death certificate will only show the name that is given by the person informing of the death.
If that person has only ever called him Frank, then that is the name that would be written.
Same with the age. If the informant says he was 102 then that's what would be recorded.
It's not checked against anything official.

As for lion shearer ... well he must have been a brave chap to shear a lion !!!!!!!!!!

Or very quick on his feet!!!

Sorry-couldn't help it. Lions rampant.
