I suspect that I have a marriage certificate that gives the groom's father as deceased when he, in fact, was not. |

Thanks for replies, it does give the father's name & occupation. It is just that all other certs I have had have said 'Deceased' if that was so. |

The simple answer is NO. It would depend on what information was given to the priest/registrar at the time of the marriage. My grandfather's father was not recorded as deceased on his marriage certificate. I later obtained grandfather's brother's marriage certificate; he had married 6 years before my grandfather and gr grandfather was down as deceased. |

If the father of the bride/groom is deceased is this fact always recorded on the marriage cert. Not sure if I have the right one as it doesn't say he is deceased but according to 1851 census he should be! |
