Hi, can anyone help me find out about the parents of John Dixon born April 1900 in Darlington area.  John Dixon later married Ruth Ludkin. Any help I would really appreciate as It seems to be a bit of a mystery. thanks Richard

Without being absolutely sure of the date & birthplace then there are too many to choose from.
What does the later marriage say about parent(s)?

hello, thanks for your help. I do not have access to the marriage cert. the DOB was 19/04/1900 in Darlington. I have been looking through FreeBMD but there are rather a lot of Dixon's in Durham. cheers Richard

Hello, thanks for your help. I have seen that but it doesn't tell me anything other than a reference. perhaps have to try GenesReunited. cheers Richard

I have seen that but it doesn't tell me anything other than a reference.

To get the information you want you will have to use that reference number to send for the birth certificate.

Alternatively send for his marriage certificate which will at least give you his father's name.

Hello, thank you for your help I appreciate it,  I have just got back off the phone passing on the info you have kindly found for me. apparently John Dixon's father was wounded in the south africa war and was taken to a military hospital and died and was buried in Karache when John was only a small boy.

later John Dixon when he fought in the first world war went to karache and saw his Fathers grave.  is there any way I can research military records online?.

Thanks Richard
