sorry to even have mentioned him

Don't be sorry - it's always worth finding leads even to rule them out.  Sorry if my tone was a bit "off".

Hopefully the OP will let us know when the marriage certificate arrives in case that helps to confirm details.

Xin, thinking outside the box also found my reclusive gt gt grandfather, nothing wrong with that.

It was perfectly Ok to mention him. But we do need to stick to the fact's, otherwise what is the point, no offence meant at all. :)

It doesn't automatically mean that he was the Fred in the newsarticle (as others have pointed out he's not) but the fact that the family story may be mixed slightly can not be ruled out
