Morning all.
I am helping a friend with some research and all she has is her father Keith Gordon Blake 5/5/1947 and his father Thomas Blake and his wife Doris Cain. I have the marriage cert of Thomas and Doris, married 14th October 1946 aged 26yrs, Thomas. 21yrs Doris. They were living Mitcham in Surrey. Could someone help me with Thomas's birth please? On the marriage cert, Thomas's father is given as "George"
Thank you.

I assume you have had no problem in tracing Doris :-\
Registered March quarter 1925, Croydon - mmn Bishop
Sidney G Cain and Mabel E Bishop were married December quarter 1923, Croydon
-
Looking at the 1939 Register poses the question - are Thomas and Doris still alive?
I can see Sidney G (1900) and Mabel E Cain (1902), plus two entries which are redacted.

One possible
Thomas Blake

Using that date of birth in 1939 Register, shows that Thomas was married :-\ :-\

Married young then as he'd only have been 17.

What status does it give for Thomas - does it say bachelor, widower or divorced?
-
Marriage cert says " Formally the husband of ? Lilian Blake nee Reeve (spinster) from whom he obtained a license" Divorced? Gives his father's occupation as retired builder. Does not say deceased.
