Find Ancestors

There has been a recent addition to my family via my step-Grandsons fiance
Sophie Charlotte Howes. She doesn't have much info on her Fathers family history.
Her Father is Paul A. Howes and mother is Sonya Townly .I think they married in 1995 at .,Norwich. I am struggling to find any info on his family back ground. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours,Terry Liddle.

Do you know what the A stands for. There are a number of possibles on freebmd.

If not, his marriage certificate will give you the name of his father, with that you should then be able to find the fathers marriage.

The marriage is on FMP, but to get a copy cert you have to apply to:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

The woman had been married previously

One assumes she and the girl's father have also split...............

ancestry suggests he was born 1967 in Norwich mmn reynolds

Any reason why Sophie can't just ask her mother?

We must be VERY careful about posting ANY info on here as the man is almost certainly living and entitled to his privacy.

If Ancestry are correct on the mmn then again, there is more than one possible marriage between Howes and Reynolds.

Family knowledge and/ or certificates are the answer.

I believe the A in Paul Howes name is Anthony

Get the marriage cert...................if you wish to give Sophie an accurate tree, you need facts...

Read the info added by namelessone at 12.03

Some details can only be obtained by buying certs...............fact of life with FH research

And PLEASE be careful about what you post on here without the man's permission

Again, family knowledge and/ or certificates as there are two possible Paul Anthony’s.

An age might help.

Thanks for your help.
