Did he have any siblings ?

If so what were their names or known by.?

No luck I'm afraid.Ordered marriage certificate & see what that comes up with?

Grasping at straws - just in case he was born in Scotland - which might explain why he's not showing up on the England/Wales 1939 Register -
a couple of very long shots:

DOAK
JAMES
M
1930
564/2 307
Greenock West

DOAK
JAMES
M
1930
644/22 522
Partick


Alternatively, perhaps his birth was registered under a different name.

Nothing showing on Irish birth regs.Doak.Doakes.Doaks.


Who was named as his father on the marriage certificate.?

If it was a catholic marriage his mothers name will also be on it.



This birth but would have meant adding abt 8 years on his age based on death details.


Name:
James Doak
Date of Registration:
Jul-Aug-Sep 1921
Registration district:
Belfast
Birth Country:
Ireland
Volume:
1
Page:
165
FHL Film Number:
101079

Very much a guess, but basing it on the theory that James was born Belfast, and that his father was named James also ( which obviously he might not have been!) there are a couple of young James' of a likely age on the 1911 Irish census, Belfast/Antrim


There are 2 marriage for a James Doak. 1 between 1920-1922, and 1 between 1922-1926.

As said just a possibility.

There’s no birth for him on freebmd or ancestry

The marriage cert should name his father,if known

Why would he be in the US Malyon?

That one appears to be Walter Edward any way.

is this walter

Looked on https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

"For data protection reasons, if you are using the internet to search the register, some of the records will not be available to view. You will be able to access the following records:

• birth records over 100 years old
• marriage records over 75 years old
• death records (including World War II death records) over 50 years old"

If you have father's name from marriage cert for JW you may find the marriage on there ( there are 14 Doak marriages in the 4 year period before birth, just for an idea)

I use that one regularly-freebmd,but couldn't find anything on there. He's elusive this guy.

Hi Kelzi

This is the link to the free site we use to search for births, marriages and deaths.....

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I don't know what site Malyon is talking about........bdm uk??

Perhaps you can post the birth you found Malyon

You seem to be the only one who can find it.

I can't find anything malyon? I can't even find a site by that name? If you could possibly send me a link that'd be brilliant.Thank you.

I'll have a look now,cheers.

he was born in barrow in furness i found it on bdm uk

That's the fellow malyon,but I can't find any info whatsoever on POB.It gives his DOB on his death entry,but,I can't find any record of it on any site? Nothing on FreeBMD,Genes Reunited,Findmypast ? Spoken to his son,who originally said Donegal as his POB,but then said he thought it was Belfast area ?

the date of birth and death are the same as the james walter i posted

No,looks like I'm gonna have to order one,or speak to his son again.

Not seeing a birth for him. do you have the marriage cert for father's name?

That's the correct fellow Rambling.
