i received a marriage certificate today but under the mans fathers name and surname it has just been crossed through. does this mean that the father is deceased as other certificates i have where this is the case the name is still written but in brackets it says deceased. can anyone explain |

I think it is more likely to mean that the information was not supplied - probably because he didn't know who his father was. Probably you would find the same on his birth cert. Maz. XX |

It's possible that the father's name wasn't known!!! My half-brother has to have this on his marriage cert. because my mother never told him his name. Sorry for the disappointment. |

Emma, look for the birth under the name the man got married with. It's probably his mothers maiden name. Jane |
