You refer to Susan having been married

When and where did she marry........and to whom?

I rather fear that you are not going to be able to find out who fathered Stanley - his mother covered her tracks pretty well

The info 'at the end' is the GRO Volume no and Page number

You need to quote them when ordering certs from the GRO.

These cost £9.25 each

Thank you all so much!

I'm trying to helping a friend find out who his grandfather is. My friend is the grandson of Susie (Susan) Hancock Jacobs. She appears to have been widowed after being married for less than one year and living back with her parents in St. Austell in 1911 census. Her son Stanley was born four years later and given the Jacobs name but I cannot find his birth anywhere in England. His mother "took her secrets to the grave". I realize he could have been born elsewhere, on a different date or under a different name.

For a listing like this one:
Humphries Stanley E Hancock Swindon 5a 3

What does the 5a 3 at the end mean and how do I research it?

Thank you very much!
