tinky

You need their marriage certificate first in order to know who the father is...otherwise how will you be able to verify the birth certificate

In 1914 his war paper states they were living at 69 Seventh Street. Horden Colliery, Durham. This is also where Mary Elizabeth dies on 03rd April 1915.
