cant see we gave you the 1953 marriage cert ref here it is


Dec qtr 1953

Alfred Hughes spouse Zikking Coventry 9c 1097

If he was registered in the Dec. qtr. of 1926 (which he should have been), there are two births in Warwickshire which could be him (again assuming he was born in Warwickshire which he might not have been). The two births are:-

Alfred Hughes, mmn Hughes
Dec. qtr. 1926, meriden, 6d, 902

and

Alfred Hughes, mmn Beardsmore
Dec. qtr. 1926, Birmingham N., 6d, 814

It would be better to wait until you have his marriage certificate to see if it names a father. The first birth above looks to be to a single mother so if there is no father named on the marriage certificate this could be the one.

Unfortunately there's 10 Alfred Hughes just in dec qtr alone 1926 plus he may have been reg early Jan cos you have 6 weeks to register a birth and there's 3 there.

I think you need to find dads name from that marriage cert and then we may find a marriage so as to see a maiden name for his mum

Has anyone been able to find any information on my grandfather?

Alfred Hughes born 16 November 1926, not sure where he was born.

and shirley thanks for all you help you have been brill!! x

That's great thanks Kath

order online from

you have to register- Free and use that GRO quoted ,certs cost £7 with that ref, and make sure you tick the box, on the first page of the order form, that you have the GRO Ref . you only need then to specify what type of cert ie tick marriage ,give one of the names and then the GRO where asked . Dont try to fill in too much cos you dont need it ,.
The GRO website quoted will give you loads of info on what to do.


Similarly if you want to get that death cert
Shirley

Lindsay has given you the reference numbers for their marriage certificate in her reply above. You can order online from this address:-

www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates.

It will cost you £7 if you tick the box to say you have the full GRO reference.

How do i get hold of the marriage cert to find their ages?

Having trouble accessing the pages keep getting message saying there was an error.

Yes i do mean Thomas and Margaret. Will try the freebmd. Thanks will let you know how i got on.

do you mean Thomas Zikking and Margaret Palmer?

The marriage cert will give their ages and them maybe we can backtrack from there. You could try Freebmd for Thomas birth cos thats an unusual name

Is there any way of me finding out the dates of births of my new found great grandparents?

Thank you all for the information you have provided. It has been more than helpful. I think you are right on the middle name being Margaret. You have put my mind to rest and i can now pass the information over to my mum. If anyone has any more information i would be most gratefull.

Thank you all once again.

Were you aware of these two births

John A Zikking mmn Palmer q2 1926 Alcester 6d pg. 1425

Gladys M Zikking mmn Palmer q4 1927 Alcester 6d pg. 1239

Have you this. Looks like marriage of your G Grandparents

Zikking Thomas Palmer q4 1925 Alcester Vol 6 d Page 1797
Palmer Margaret Zikking q4 1925 Alcester Vol 6 d Page 1797

If you send for her birth certificate using the reference numbers Shirley has found for you, it will give you her exact date of birth, which will help to confirm if the death Shirley found is likely to be the right one.

Are you sure of her middle name? Could it be Margaret rather than Mary? Only buying the birth certificate will confirm this.
