Good luck, Claire!

Just to add, in case:-

This might be the death of the John L G Marshall , who married the Howden girl in 1945 - extremely long shot! :

Birth Date: abt 1911
Date of Registration: Jun 1962
Age at Death: 51

All info much appreciated
We have a lot to go at now, and hoping we can locate an adoption file which may include a father's name
Am applying to GRO as a start

Info from Claire indicates that Jack / John was "a couple of years" younger than Esther, and came from Hull / Howden / Driffield area.

So - assuming he was born in that area, and "came from" doesn't just mean that's where he had lived before going to Haltwhistle - as well as the births suggested by LancashireAnn, there are these other possibilities:

Births Sep 1913 (>99%)
Marshall John B Pearson Sculcoates 9d 468

Births Sep 1914 (>99%)
Marshall John Milner Beverley 9d 191
Marshall John H Lynch Sculcoates 9d 352

Births Mar 1915 (>99%)
Marshall John Starkey Sculcoates 9d 319

Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Marshall John F Heath Sculcoates 9d 225

Or maybe even this one:

Births Mar 1912 (>99%)
Marshall Jack Berry Beverley 9d 183

Plenty of choice!

The posters moms birth certificate does not show the fathers name (but there was talk of him being John/Jack Marshall) and she was later adopted

I don't think I need to go into detail, you can work out why, I'm sure. The posters mom is still living so I'm mindful of 'privacy' being respected

The information that Claire has supplied could well indicate that this may be 'Jack'

Now you've added that Jack/ John Prentice may have died 40s/ 50s, I'm doubting that the above John T Prentice is correct. A tree on Ancestry has this as his death:

Name: John T Prentice
Birth Date: abt 1916
Date of Registration: Mar 1969
Age at Death: 53
Registration district: Ryedale
Inferred County: Yorkshire North Riding
Volume: 1b Page: 1087

which doesn't fit with your info.

As Gins said- add as much information as you can- even small details can help.

I have followed this thread and have wondered what you know Claire?

You must know your mothers name, the daughter of 'Jack' (unless you were adopted or some such)

If you post or PM the full details of what you know, you might receive some positive help.

Thankyou
I think John Prentice sadly died as a young father, accident at work in ? Selby late 1940-early 1950s
Will have a look at the Yorkshirebmd, that is good source

Thankyou, now have more definate information on John Prentice, may find Jack or John Marshall who was a workmate of his in Haltwhistle 1938-39.
Possibly working on a bridge or railway.
Some suggestion that J Marshall was a soldier but not very clear
Am guessing J Prentice not on 1939 register due to birthyeat not outwith the 100 years?

There's a marriage on Freebmd of a John L G Marshall in Howden in 1945. (Claire said he married a Howden girl.)

Maybe the one born 1916?

Looks like the bride was born 1926, so I won't post the records, in case she's still alive.
Easily found on FreeBMD.

Do you have your mother's birth cert for her mother's maiden name?

Or is it not quite that simple?
