Find Ancestors

Could someone with Ancestry please look for this man?
My mum's cousin Betty I Rees (born 1930) married Richard Jianikos in 1949 St Pancras.
I can't find a birth for him,or anything else about him.
I am told he was an American but the name sounds Greek???
Thank you

Thelma
Thank you....so he was Greek,
Got around a bit...perhaps due to the war

Ginny
Thanks.. just seen he was in the Merchant Navy.That would explain the travelling.

There are 2 more entries which could be him the surname is listed as 'Janicous'.....I will PM them to you just in case they are still living

Is he still alive? Theres not much to go on, Id suggest you get the marriage certificate and see if his father is listed

Ginny
I have no idea....
You helped me last week to find Susie Rees.. you found her death and I am still waiting on her cert.
You were not able to find her birth though and thought she was possibly adopted.
Well,this Betty was her sister,although a lot of years between them,and I was hoping if I could locate her she might have some answers about Susie.
Everyone I want is elusive!

I can see them both on a return trip to the UK in 1955

Ginny
They would,wouldn't they!
No wonder no one seems to know where Betty went.
I think I will have to wiat for Susie's death cert and see who registed it,maybe an address?
Thank you very much

I've now PM'd you details of the other 2 entries ...... although I didn't say the address given for Richard in the first entry is exactly the same for the second entry.

Once you look at different spellings.
