I havent checked her birth certificate.. ill see if i can get my hands on that one!
She was an only child.
The date of the marriage was 24th February 1946.
As William wasnt marked as deceased on the marriage certificate im taking it that he did attend the wedding..
His daughter died in 2008.

Not necessarily. She would have to have given his name

Surely the son in law could tell you, in any case. He would have known if his father-in-law was there

I don't think the daughter married in 1946..........

Leaving this now..................

As you have 6 weeks to register a birth, with the marriage that late in February William could have been registered as late as the June quarter 1921 - which unfortunatly throws 2 more births into the mix! You're not having much luck here!!!

Hopefully the son in law will still have a copy of his late wife's birth cert, and their marriage cert - to check the occupation of her father on both, and whether he was deceased by the time of her marriage, or know whether he actually attended the wedding.

As mentioned before Jacqueline the son in law knows nothing!
I know that he was alive at least in the late 70's as his granddaughter rememebers briefly meeting him once.
