I'm a little confused in that you say Edwin G. Paddington was born 1956 in Dumfries but then say his parents were an Edwin G. and Hillary who didn't marry until 1968 in Horsham??   Was he born before his parents married?

There are 5 marriages listed for Edwin G Paddington between 1954-2002.  2 were in Surrey and 3 in Sussex

The only English birth is 1933 Horsham and he is the one who died in 2004

His mmn was Slough

In view of the inconsistency between the birth year of 1956 and the marriage year of 1968, I would definitely obtain the 1956 birth certificate to see who the parents are.

The mother may turn out to be someone different to whom you are expecting.  Until you have that birth certificate, any other information found is speculation.

I find it a little odd that the birth is in Scotland and yet everything else appears to be in England.

Thanks all I am going to try and get his birth certificate so hopefully we know the maiden name as although it seems probable that they married in Horsham as that's the next village to where my husbands mum comes from it does seem strange that his dad was born in Dumfries.... thanks for all your help so far.

The below tells you how to order a certificate

Cost is £12.

You will probably have to register before you can order the cert.  Just put his name in the search field, put 1954 to 1957 and it will come up with just one birth.  Then carry on from there.
