Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 18 Send Message	Hello Everyone Yes I am going to send for ARTHUR'S Marriage Certificate, like you say if he was born before his mother married his father's name may not be on the record, but it should say the mother's full name. Regarding TINSLEY the place this was just on his army record, I have now looked on the map & the only Tinsley is near to Rotherham. I have now looked up Tyldesley & it is in this area in Lancs so I will search again.
