hi any one im looking for any date and family of my dads dad his name was harry he married in march 1931 looking for his family his mom and dad harry whitehouse

Catherine

Catherine Report 2 Apr 2009 15:54

Is this his marriage?:-

Marriages Mar 1931 (>99%)
Hitchcroft Ida (Whitehouse) Wolverhampton 6b 711
Whitehouse Harry J (Hitchcroft) Wolverhampton 6b 711

If so the cert. will give you his fathers name!
Do you know his date and place of birth?
If not, the cert will also give you his age so you can work out his dob.

Only two births for a Harry J. Whitehouse from 1900 to 1915 anywhere in England:-

Births Jun 1905 (>99%)
Whitehouse Harry Joseph Northampton 3b 63

Births Mar 1907 (>99%)
WHITEHOUSE Harry John Wolverhampton 6b 568

The second one is Wolverhampton so could be a good possibility, but is not at all certain.
Would this area fit in with the family?

Where has your earlier thread on this family gone from about an hour ago?
Deleted?
There was lots of good info on there

These are possible children that could go with the marriage:-

Births Mar 1931 (97%)
Whitehouse Doris I Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 861
Births Dec 1931 (0%)
Whitehouse Harry J Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 731
Births Jun 1932 (79%)
Whitehouse Alfred G Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 749
Births Jun 1933 (>99%)
WHITEHOUSE John T Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 695
Births Mar 1934 (98%)
Whitehouse Elsie M Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 664
Births Dec 1934 (92%)
Whitehouse Raymond Hitchcroft Wolverhampton 6b 723

Do any of these names mean anything to you?

If so, then one of the certs will confirm, or not, the marriage record.
