Thanks for the links I will have a look. No statutory unfortunately but the Catholic one is proof enough for me i think.
In regards the post about Michael Kennedy, in my tree i couldn't see any Michaels but whos to say one of the kids didn't have a son called Michael. Will investigate.
Poor records were disappointing unfortunately as only very basic text and im sure he was lying about being single when I have his marriage certificate before that date and the Street address match (but not number). Would have thought he would have better chance of relief mentioning wife and child. I'll be over on the handwriting forum to ask some decipher questions shortly...
