You need to get Mark's birth certificate & Olives marriage certificate (which will give the name of her father) to see if they link up. Here is possibly Olive's birth reference - 1st quarter 1947 - Olive E Gates Islington 5c 2132 (mother's maiden name Bainborough) Gillian |

I was getting all confused here so I drew it out in a tree to make sense of it. Olive Gates and Michael Allen marrying in Islington in 1970 seem a little too far after the birth (and geographocally too) to be the correct parents for the Mark Allen born 1964 in Penzance. The Olive E Gates birth is DEFINITELY not the right one if her mothers maiden name is Bainborough and the matching marriage is to a THOMAS Gates and not the George being searched for. It would probably be best to concentrate on trying to find parents for the Mark Allen born in 1964 - either by getting his birth certificate or by finding matches in the indexes - this gives Carol another two names of possible living relatives to loook for in teh search for Mark. I have some free time now so I'll see if I can go back and find a possible marriage Zoe |

Going off what Zoe found how about this Yvonne G Gates (mothers maiden name Nicholls) - Redruth 1940 Q1 5c 574 then found this marriage George W Gates - Doris W Nicholls- Redruth - 1939 Q3 - 5c 543 Not too good on geography but hoping Redruth is in Cornwall. |

Just to let people know that I've looked up to and including 1946 for anymore children with surname Gates, mothers maiden name Nicholls. Found nothing. Didn't want anybody checking same years. |

sorry - i forgot to add message that I'd traced Yvonne back to confirm who her parents were (it was my turn to make tea so I had to go) so apologies to all who did the search as well - but I can confirm that I also matched her to a mother called Doris Nicholls through the birth index and then the marriage Zoe |
