Father's name on a marriage certificate
« on: Monday 13 October 14 21:46 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know the likelihood of the paternal father being named on someone's marriage certificate if the father in question died before the parents married but the mother later married someone else? I'm looking around 1918-1930. I know the person in question had contact with his paternal grandparents as a child , so I gather he would have known the identity of his real father.

Hard to say.
If he knew the name of his "real" father, ( and if he was in touch with grandparents then he did) then it is very likely he would name him on his marriage cert.
If however he was very close to his stepfather, and saw him as his father, he may have named him.
