Hi
If you order his birth cert it will give you the names of both his parents. You will then be able to search for their marriage.

I find the best way is to ask relatives firstly, and then work back however

There are a few children born in Salford with tne surname Hough and mother's maiden name Smart between 1920 and 1935, they might not be connected but it's a possibility.

going on that there is a marriage in Salford 1919 which is a possibility for the parents, again not a certainty but once you get Francis's birth cert you can proove/ disproove

Marriage about Catherine Smart
Name: Catherine Smart
Spouse Surname: Hough
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1919
Registration district: Salford
Registration county (inferred): Lancashire
Volume Number: 8d
Page Number: 314

her spouse's details will not show but I think thats because of an error on the entry for this one!

Marriage about George Hough
Name: George Hough
Spouse Surname: Huart (looking at the original it says Smart)
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1919
Registration district: Salford
Registration county (inferred): Lancashire
Volume Number: 8d
Page Number: 514 (looking at the original it could be 314, it's a little blurred)
