Hi,
I managed to find my Grandfathers biological father - Frederick Stone on the 1939 census living with his biological mother. His biological father was not on the birth certificate so i am really pleased i have found him living with the mother. I have a few questions if anyone could help me or give me any tips of where to look/search next.
In the 1939 both his mother and father are both down as married, my granddad was never aware they were married and even though i have searched i cant find whether this marriage took place. His mothers name is Hilda ellen Loveless, later on she married an Arthur Durussel who went on to adopt my grandad after his biological Fathers death.
My grandad (who is still with us) remembers reading about his fathers death in a newspaper his mother showed him - He commited suicide in a gas oven. Is there any way i can find his date of death knowing his DOB ( 9th Aug 1889) which we received off of the 1939 census?
Id really love to find out whether he married my grandads mother (they both are married on the census) but as far as we were aware Hilda hadnt married anyone before she married my grandads stepfather in 1943.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
