Wow thanks, you found the marriage record! I couldn't find it but I think that is because of the website I was using (not sure I am allowed to say the name of the site :-) ). That is a lesson learned for me - always try these searches on different websites.

There is still the mystery of why John Walker is not named on Rose's birth certificate though.

Thanks again
Dan

Hello all,

My great grandmother is Rose Florence Caporn Walker, born 26 November 1879 at St Martin Birmingham.

I am trying to find her father. Rose's birth certificate has mother as Sarah Jane Walker formerly White, profession Dressmaker. No father is given on Rose's birth certificate.

Rose's marriage certicate states father is John Walker, profession Dairyman. I cannot find a marriage between John Walker and Sarah Jane White. I suspect that he is not really the father.

Can anybody help by checking for a baptism record for Rose - perhaps the father is stated there?

I wonder if Rose's father's name might be Caporn, since this seems like an usual given name.

Thanks in advance for any help :-)
