Hi

Did you sort out your father's birthcert?
My theory is that George W Rolfe (senior) married Harriet Mary Ottley
which was her name from her first marriage ( to Herbert Edward Ottley ).
Her maiden name being GODFREY [ ????? ]
Marriage 1908 June Windsor 2c 945 Harriet Mary GODFREY  / Herbert Edward OTTLEY Harriet Mary GODFREY born 1885 June Easthampstead 2c 414


Please put me out of misery and let me know?    :D
Cheers
Ray

Hi, sorry I have not been back before.
My Granddad was George William Rutter Rolfe and he married Harriet Sabrina Ottley in 1922 at The Parish church Clewer, Windsor.
she was a Widow and her Farthers name was James McGowan!!
I think Her Mothers name was Caroline so I am now beginning
 to think that my Father was illegitimate and his Mother was my Grandads Wife's mother, in other words he had an affair with her!!!
I don't know what to think as he was married 5th Oct 1922 and my Dad was born 17th Dec. 1922!!!
What do you make of it

Hi

If you tell us what you have then we may get closer and save a lot of repeated research?

There is some info that I haven't posted because I have no idea whether it is relevant.

Love to help!

Ray

Hi Ray, sorry but been busy and forgot all about your reply.

This is the situation I am in at the moment.

1. My Grandad (George William Rutter Rolfe) married a Harriet Sabrina Ottley in Oct 1922 at Clewer Parish Church near Windsor Berks.

2 In December 1922 my Dad (George William Rutter Rolfe)was born, his Mothers name on his Birth Cert. was Caroline Rebecca Rolfe (Ne. Ottley).

3. Harriet had her Father as a James McGowan on the marriage Cert.  and that she was a Widow!!.
I can find no link between them or record of her marrying to get the surname Ottley.

What I don't understand is how did Caroline become a Rolfe!!  I can find no Records of her.

I have found some possibility that James McGowan came from Ireland.

Hope this is clear and thanks if you are able to help.
