He could well be deceased. I have marriage certs that don't specify deceased where I have the death cert so know that he most definately is! Sam x

I have one where Charlotte Daft married in 1872 father Samuel Screaton FWK. On her 1847 marriage cert Charlottle Screaton father Samuel Screaton FWK Deceased. I think that might answer your question.

Emma sorry to add to confusion, but i have one marrige cert which says deceased and another which does not - but in both cases father was dead. so it looks like it was at the whim of the registrar Sue

i have found a record on the census same street she lived in but different number house, the person with the same name i am looking for lived with her brothers/sisters and mum in 1891 but in 1901 there was no mum, she married in 1907 and only her husband family were witnesses none of her. This is why i think he may be dead but why is it a different house number help im so confused emma
