Find Living Relatives

Alexandra, you will understand that we reading here only know what you tell us, and can't read between the lines :-)

things like when Thomas was last known to be in Swindon (as mentioned), whether he and Jean are divorced, are you in touch with Jean ...



just for ruling out, for others looking ... a Jean Parker remarried in Swindon in 1984 and is living there with her husband and daughter whose name is the same as Alexandra's ! but they are different people, I checked out the chains of births/marriages

When was he in Swindon? Did he spilt from Jean?

Alexandra - you have probably just found something like this (see below), which is not an actual marriage certificate. It is a transcription made up from all the marriages that happened in a certain Registration district within a particular quarter of the year as recorded at the General Register Office..

Here it tells you that Thomas and Jean married in the 4th quarter of 1963 - i.e. in either October, November or December of that year. They married in the Pontypridd Registration district (the country is divided into various different ones) which covers various villages, towns etc - including Aberdare in this instance.

The Volume 8B and Page 1209, give you a reference for the record which is held centrally at the General Register Office.

You need to actually purchase the certificate itself, which should then tell you the ages at the time of the marriage of both bride and groom, their occupations, addresses and also the name and occupation of their Fathers and whether they are deceased. This will hopefully help to identify your Thomas.

I found a marriage certificate on here to my nan, Jean Lloyd in 1963 and adopted my mother And her siblings, beverley wayne and Debra. I'm afraid I don't really know anything more :/

Get a copy of the marriage cert................then you'll have some facts on which searches can be based

There appear to be 2 men born in Paisley between those dates, one in 1938 and one in 1944.
You would need scotlandspeople for more information, and to buy credits.

His marriage 1963 in Pontypridd (?) - so GRO for that certificate: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

Welcome to the boards, Alexandra.

I think you are going to have to try and find out some more definite information about him, as there are going to be many men called Thomas Parker born between 1936 and 1949, and living anywhere in the UK.

When did he marry Jean, (have you got the certificate?) so could you find out his father's name to identify the family?

Do you know of any other family members?

When was he in Swindon?

Thank-you

Thomas Parker- Born between 1936-1949. married Jean Lloyd. born in Paisley - lived in aberdare last known location swindon! any one help?! please I'd be forever grateful
