I have a marriage cert for my G grandparents which shows name and occupation of brides father. It doesn't say deceased though. I haven't seen his death cert yet but he died 11 years prior to the wedding. I have found the record of his death as have other researchers, also I have the children with relations after he and his wife died leaving the children orphans at a very young age. Im certain he was deceased - is it usual for it not to be mentioned? Sue |

The requirement was only for the name - they were never concerned whether they were alive or dead. |

It all depends what question was asked and what answer was given. J |

My great grandfather had been dead over 24 years when his daughter, my grandmother married. Like your cert. there is no mention that he was deceased. As John said perhaps it was the way the question was worded. 'Father's name?'......and they just answered truthfully. Some people would not want to appear too 'forward' by adding further information, especially in front of official clerks or clergy. Gwyn |
