Seeking John W. McDonald´s parents and birth year
« on: Monday 31 July 17 12:48 BST (UK) »
John W. McDonald married Ivy Coward 3q 1921 Pancras 1b 289. They had two daughters both born in London.

Ivy Coward was born in Woking Surrey 1q 1892 Guildford 2a 59 and was still living there in 1911.
I am seeking more information for John W. McDonald who I believe was born about 1898; place not known. – may have been Essex but not certain.

Can anyone help further?

Can you find them on the 1939 National Register?

Otherwise, with a common name like John McDonald, I think you are going to need the Marriage Certificate?
