Was he born in Ireland?
We (wife's cousin and I) have a similar situation in my wife's family.
His name was Charles Thomas so there's a distinct possibility that he
was Welsh. Looking for the right Charles Thomas in Wales would be a
needle in haystack job.
Hi
I have the same problem with my maternal grandfather. He died in 1960 in his nineties.
I cannot find a birth record for him anywhere. I have searched for over thirty years. It is possible he was never registered at all.
Neither can I locate a marriage cert, though I found him in 1901 and 1911 census married. This is a mystery that has me stumped.
I also have both death certs and their children's birth certs etc. He was John Farrell and she was Elizabeth nee McLoughlin.
I would give anything to solve this puzzle.
