Hi thank you for replying.
Yes John Audley did marry Beatrice Hadley in 1946 which is my Nan. (she remarried in 1960)
As far as we know my Mums dad and his older brother Frank, were never registered at birth, as he never had a birth certificate for the marriage to my nan, they had to get one. We have his Birth Certificate, Christening cert and marriage cert. My Mums Dad was born on 28 January 1923. Frank was born in 1921. We think his Dad married, a Winifred Annie Amos, I've traced her to Canterbury Kent. From what I have found out on here, John Thomas b1899, had 5 sons and my nan told me they had two daughters, but these can not be found on 1911 census, could be born after this? Two of there sons, died as children and the other we presume got killed in the Coventry Blitz in 1941.
Thank you both for your help, never thought this could be so hard work and frustrating!!
Kind Regards
Georgina
