Marriages Mar 1936 (>99%)
DANBY John Mawson Auckland 10a 33

yes thats it brummiejan

Well, as you have probably seen, there is no birth for this exact name in Co. Durham in the relevant years.
Do the witnesses offer any clues?

EDIT this is the best I can see, but there is a middle initial:

Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Danby John E Danby Hartlepool 10a 323

Jan

Or!

Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Danby John Lane Sculcoates 9d 222

Births Mar 1914 (>99%)
DANBY John Crane Sculcoates 9d 272

Do you know if John had any siblings?

no i dont at the moment

Thats a shame....it might of helped us to connect to the Mothers maiden name.

I assume his wife re-married, an unusual name isn't it, so he had presumably died by 1947. Doesn't help at all though does it.

Name: Melita A Danby
Spouse: Astill
Marriage: Sep 1947 - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

??? if he died in 1960 then they must have divorced for her to marry in 1947 omg nothing strange as family and i cant find a marriage to tie in with the birth Danby ( crane)

I found him in the 1911 Jan...

He appears to have married a Charlotte Seaton....

I can't see a John born with MMN Seaton though!
