LOL Julie

hi julie , i'd say that they would be dancing round in circlesand if they do find you they would probablysay whats she doing there nothing like confusion ehh hazel.

On OH grandad marriage cert it said father was deceased - he had made up the fathers name though - Grandad was illegitimate & so to save face made it up - no one checked - except me!!!

hiya, maybe things have changed now then, or maybe it varies from county to county, I just hope that if anyone tries to look for my marriage, they wont find it where i live in Nottingham, I got married in OC's town of Helston, Cornwall, LOL like to keep peeps on their toes!!!! Cheers Julie

When I married in 1990 I volunteered the information that my father was dead. I don't know that the registrar would have asked if I hadn't.

hi peter and julie , thanks for that only i thought i might have the wrong cert hazel.

hiya, nowadays, the registrar will ask if father deceased, it wasnt always the case, back then, if the person forgot to mention it, they could well have been dead, as they always ask for name and occupation of father, but not nessacarily if they had died, like i say, nowadays they do ask, How do i know?? I got married last yr, both my parents are now gone, Is on cert as being deceased. Hope this helps Julie

No not at all. The information is only as good as what was said at the time. If the vicar or registrar only asked for fathers occupation and not if he was still alive, there might be no metion he was dead.

if your father has died before you get married is he always shown as dead on the cert only i've got my 3x g/fathers married cert 1851which says his father is dead but i've got his sisters marriage cert 1855 which says he's a gardner their father died about 1846. hazel
