Hi Ray, sorry but been busy and forgot all about your reply.
This is the situation I am in at the moment.
1. My Grandad (George William Rutter Rolfe) married a Harriet Sabrina Ottley in Oct 1922 at Clewer Parish Church near Windsor Berks.
2 In December 1922 my Dad (George William Rutter Rolfe)was born, his Mothers name on his Birth Cert. was Caroline Rebecca Rolfe (Ne. Ottley).
3. Harriet had her Father as a James McGowan on the marriage Cert. and that she was a Widow!!.
I can find no link between them or record of her marrying to get the surname Ottley.
What I don't understand is how did Caroline become a Rolfe!! I can find no Records of her.
I have found some possibility that James McGowan came from Ireland.
Hope this is clear and thanks if you are able to help.

Hi, sorry I have not been back before.
My Granddad was George William Rutter Rolfe and he married Harriet Sabrina Ottley in 1922 at The Parish church Clewer, Windsor.
she was a Widow and her Farthers name was James McGowan!!
I think Her Mothers name was Caroline so I am now beginning
to think that my Father was illegitimate and his Mother was my Grandads Wife's mother, in other words he had an affair with her!!!
I don't know what to think as he was married 5th Oct 1922 and my Dad was born 17th Dec. 1922!!!
What do you make of it

Ok, thanks. What I am really looking for is who was resident at the Pub in 1922.
My Dad was born there but his Dad was not the Landlord so I am guessing he was either working at the Pub or just lodging there but I can not find anyway of getting the info and the Census Records are still not available.

Shaun, thanks for the tip but I am not sure which one to use.
The problem I have is that I know who owned the Pub from the 1911 Census but as my Dad was born there in 1922 the Census for then is not yet available.
