Iam trying to find my granddad married to Violet Parker, information from my dads birth certificate. My dad Peter Henry Birch 18/04/1932 was one of 3 boys born in Lambeth London and living in Greenwich in 1938. I cant find a birth death or marriage for Walter or Violet. Walter believed to have died in the Blackwall Tunnel around 1947 but not sure if this was just a story. We do know that Violet re married as a widow in 1950 at 43 years old to George Russell. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks for read |

on Peters my dad birth certificate 1932 it says Walter was a journeyman house painter, and on Peters marriage certificate it says Walter (deceased) was a master painter. Violets status it says formaly Parker but it says her father was called George Parker on her second marriage after Walter died |

On Violets second marriage her father George Parkers occupation is a coal face miner retired which makes me think that they could have come from the midlands or up north |

Perhaps they simply weren’t married. |

There is a birth in 1893 for Walter Charles Birch in Leighton Buzzard |

It seems that a child was adopted into another family ,,,,,,,,although a fathers name appears on a birth certificate it doesnt mean the parents were married, |

That one almost certainly married in 1936 - see freebmd |

This is Violet taken from the 1939 register. |

the wording on on Peter Henry Birch and his brother Walter Oliver Birch of their mother Violet says formerly Parker. This is very confusing as I cant move forward unless i can find Walter Charles Birch. I have a lot of info that I have found but I cant put any of it together, oh and I have a few certificates that I have purchased that are not the right family, this man I think is not wanting to be found |

Any thoughts re the 1893 birth to which I referred? And the father’s occupation in 1901? |

I think you might have something there. I have looked at it several times over the years and never thought it matched because of the area but I am now thinking you may have something, finally I feel a little progress. Thank you so much |

I suppose it's possible that the Leighton Buzzard man returned to the UK, but couldn't marry Violet as he was already married to Louisa! |
