lol Well I would be tempted by the birth certificate that gave the middle name as begining with L. Or you could always order both, and see what the fathers occupations are. |

Also my great grandfather was illegitimate, but on his marriage certificate not only did he reduce his age (his bride was 17 he was nearly 30)....but he also gave his grandfathers name as his fathers name! |

No the dads dont have to present, the same as they arent now. Just the bride and groom need to be there, and the witnesses of course. Also his father could have been dead at the time of marriage, sometimes they put deceased, sometimes they dont. The information on a certificate is only as good as the information that is given. |

Sorry I had a problem with my connection then. OC is right you should be wary of the age 21. Before 1969 anyone under the age of 21 would need their parents consent to marry. After 1969 the age was reduced to 18. So he probably just added a few months to his age, saved all the hassle of consent then. Its not unusual for people to lie on their marriage certificates. |

I am always suspicious when a marriage cert says someone is 21 - often they weren't, not quite! Do you have a death cert? OC |

I wouldn't go on just the middle initial- i had a rellie that i always knew by Bertie- but on his marriage cert he's Albert- then on the census he is Albert H. My point- if i'd had just gone on trying to find 'Bertie', i would have got no where. In those days, it was a matter of whether they felt like putting there name down in full! |

On marriage certificate what does it give his fathers occupation as? If you was to order the birth cert with the middle name L then you can cross reference for the middle name Leslie and the fathers occupation. |
