Would be good if you used wildcards for searching that surname  ::) On SP for example you can search as M*CG*E...would pick up Mc or Mac and also, GHIE GHEE GEE.

Monica

This is always a good idea as Monica points out but it may also be worth considering Magee which I'm unsure whether it would be picked up with those wildcards but worth remembering as accents can come up with all sorts & you're unlucky to have such a hard name to locate if it was written how it sounded more especially for a death as the info. was given by someone else who may have pronounced the surname a bit different?

This is so much more complicated than I thought it would be when I first started doing it. Hopefully I'll get time tomorrow to juggle with all the name variants..
Thank you so much

Just helping Denise out with clips from the cert.

First image is the address for the birth of baby.

Second clip are the details showing for father Thomas McGee, an electric cranesman as Denise mentined earlier. From the cert, he did sign the register but the cert Denise has is a copy register and does not show his original signature to compare elsewhere unfortunately

As Thomas attended the registration of the birth it would suggest that William Rodgers and his wife were separated
