Vardy seems just to have been a variation of Verdon - maybe a mis-hearing or assumption of the spelling of the name by the registrar. |

Also, can I search for workhouse records online? |

It's impossible to say if the marriage cert would help or not, Karen. |

So just to confirm patchem, do you think it would help if I got Horace R Vardi's marriage certificate? |

As you cannot find him in 1891 or 1901, there might be some useful information on the marriage certificate - names of witnesses, if related, or some further clue to his Mother. |

Your great-grandfather's death certificate wouldn't give his father's name and even if his marriage certificate DID show a father's name then it is likely that this would either be "made up" so as to save face in front of his in-laws, or it would be a step-father's name if his mother subsequently married. If his birth certificate didn't give a father's name then I don't think you are likely to ever know who his father was (unless his baptism record gives a likely father). |

Wow, thank you all so much. I had already researched the Vardi family from the early 20th century as they lived in or around Penge (now SE London) as this is where my mother was born & grew up. |

Or she may have assumed Horace's father's name for respectability, without being married. |

No way - at the moment - of knowing if Elizabeth was even English |

Unfortunately there are lots of girls called Elizabeth Vardy or Varty, born in various places. |

Have you found a death or marriage for Elizabeth, and does he name a Father on his marriage certificate? |
