Alfred Lewis marriage/s

[mckha489]

What confuses me is that my dad’s birth wasn’t registered till 1st April . I also have that he was born in Becontree Road , Dagenham .

That’s only 4 or 5 weeks between birth and registration. That’s nothing.

I’ve found a school record for Alfred Edward the son of Walter and birth date is right.
I still think you should buy the marriage certificate though. Just to be 100% sure.
So..there is quite a lot of information available. Walter and Caroline had a large family.
I don’t want to spoil your fun so won’t post, but ask if you get stuck.

Here they are in 1911 to get you started

NB Walter has been transcribed as Walter G, but he signs at bottom as Walter James

The school register is on Ancestry

I made a separate enquiry here

Regarding the annotation on it.

I also know my dad and his mother Jessie moved to Australia so any help with this would be great too.

Between marriage in 1965 and 1968 when I can see them on the electoral rolls for Burke

Modified as. I think I’ve been following the wrong people here.

[mckha489]

I was thinking...
If you have Jessie’s death certificate, you could apply to FindMyPast to have the redacted entry in 1939 opened.

[claire88]

I have been led to believe that Jessie moved to Australia after her and Alfred’s marriage ended . She moved there with a Charles Bolton and this is where her and Charles passed away . Then prompting my Father to return to the uk .

That 1965 marriage is your father though?

[claire88]

No it isn’t . My father married in the 1970’s to a Cheryl (don’t know surname ) and then in the 80’s to maiden name flatman .
