Why not tell us the names involved and the definite dates you know? If it was in the 1840s or 1850s there could be clues in the census, but we can't find them without names.
Hi Forfar..........
The reason I didn't ask for anyone to find them "at this stage" is that I have plenty of references of BMD's for the areas in question for my research pre 1855.
I am merely putting feelers out as this was something I had considered (re-marrying) but had never come across it myself in my own research i.e. "If you don't ask you won't find out"
The maiden surname of the woman in question is somewhat rare/not too common in the areas I'm searching.
There are 3/4 areas to cover for my research.
I have found little with her maiden name in any of the 4 areas regarding births of any issue but there is a lack of records too.
I did wonder then, if infact she did remarry would it be possible that she did so using her 1st husband's surname?
I will revert back to where I was at with the possibility of his father having married twice too
Thanks for your direction though as the info. I have is pre 1855 so either parent could have remarried after 1855.............I haven't strolled down there YET!!!
I searched for the parent's marriage 1st off simply because the name isn't common & I was only given the details tonight so I have a lot to look up.
I couldn't find a birth for him with both parent's names from his death cert. & the marriage could have been before the local church kept records
I will be back soon if I'm unable to get through the brick wall
Thanks for now,
Annie
