His father (if he knew him) will be named on the marriage cert

Or, try looking at..................

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/

Any result on there MAY be the right person...........equally, it may not.

The marriage cert is your best bet if you wish to be accurate

If you click on this link, it takes you to the actual image of the marriage record of James Kay and Ann Chadwick and you will see that his father was Samuel Kay, a farmer.
