Maybe getting the marriage cert then for Michael would be the way to go .then you will have his age at marriage and can work backwards

hi shirley, her mum wasnt married to him, but he was married before to a lady called jane but we have no info on her apart from they had 4 children in the 70s i think, but we dont know if they were married in england south africa or austraila as he spent time living in those places.
thanks

So you don't really know when this Michael was born......or even if he was born in the UK?? Is that correct?

And how is Vera your grandmother.....if her 'son' is your wife's father?

Janice Report 31 Dec 2007 17:36

Do you know where he died? There's this one but there's an extra middle name:

Michael John M Wood 30 Jun 1942 Jun 1995 53 Southwark London

Did he die in hospital?

Vanessa

Vanessa Report 31 Dec 2007 17:55

hi janice, no i dont have a clue she only found out through the child suport agency that he had died.

Janice Report 31 Dec 2007 18:04

This was the only one that came anywhere near the right birth year (in deaths 1984-2005) so it would seem probable. I suppose you could get the cert and see who registered the death.
