For info about Leslie, the marriage cert is essential.

It will tell you how old he was, his marital status, and (if known) his father's details

With that info, searches can be carried out

The idea that your father's natural parents eventually married is romantic, but unlikely.

I can't see any likely births during the marriage to Golding.....you may, of course, know otherwise

Hi
I'm trying to find information about a Leslie F Golding who married my father's birth mother Ethel Hilda Griffiths at Oswestry Shropshire in 1931.

My father born at Oswestry 12/12/1922 Ronald Griffiths was given up by his mother at birth, sometime later possibly at the age of 7 or 8 not 100% sure he was brought up by William Ellis Jones and his wife Mary Catherine Jones, (formerly Griffiths) later they officially adopted him when he was 15, he was given the name Ronald Griffith Jones, (I imagine they retained his real mother's surname as his middle name)
My curiosity asks, is his adopted mother related to his real mother? same surname Griffths, can't find a connection though, and could my father's real mother have married my father's real father later on when she was more able to cope with bringing up a family? Can anyone please help.?
