Hello Arronroots Isaac Shapiro was my father and before he died he told me the story of his Uk bride. On my mothers death certificate it states he was a widower when he married her. I only found out  a few months back that my father died in 1981 all alone in Australia. I didnt know him all that well and am trying to find out who he was and as much as I can about his life. His first marriage was definitely in the UK. I remember as a child he travelled on a British Passport so he must have been a british citizen. Is there a way to get information about his citizenship in the Uk and passport. info.

No it was his first marriage. He would have been very young when he married. I wander coming at such a young age from Lithuania would it have been a possibility that he changed his name at some stage. I see there are many variations of the name Shapiro. All I know he was born on 20th December 1914 in Lithuania. He must have been a UK citizen as when he left to Uk to South Africa he travelled on a British Passport. Is there a way to get information about his passport.

Thank you for your help.

Isaac Shapiro from Lithuania married in the Uk between 1929-1945. On his honeymoon night he went to get his new bride a glass of champagne in the bathtub, when he got there she had drowned. I am trying to find if anyone out there has heard this story and if so I am looking for his wifes name and their marriage certificate and the wifes death certificate. Soon after this incident Isaac Shapiro left the Uk and went to South Africa. Please if anyone can help I appreciate it.
