Hi everyone, a marriage cert arrived this morning, it gives the grooms name as John Clarke Ratcliffe age 23 in 1890 Chester/Cheshire area. Making his birth year approx 1867.

His fathers name is John Clarke, Ive looked for a Clarke/Ratcliffe marrige on bmd and cant find one, Ive found a possible birth for John Clarke Ratcliffe but it only says John Ratcliffe. Im at a loss if his mum remarried there should be one, and if his father had died it should say deceased.

Any ideas? many thanks to you all
