as I saidin my last post I am looking for the marriage date of Charles and Lillian and what children did they have
-
It is unlikely you will find a marriage date for the time frame you require. The informant is named on her death certificate. Hopefully the son and any other children are still living. Have you tried to locate obituaries for Charles and Lilie/Lillian which might give you details of children. ?

thanks for your help Sandra, I think that they must have married around 1940 onwards as he was on the 1940 census with his father and mother who I still cant find deaths for them being john allan and Margaret munro

The Chas F maybe their son.
In Charles's obit in 1968 it mentions "son, Charles F Allan of the home". It also mentions a brother William Allan of Phil-...[Philadelphia, PA]?
Strange the death records, obits and funeral notices for Charles all spell last name "Allan". All the same records for Lillian spell the last name "Allen"
-
I noticed that about the name allen, I know that the family called the son chay, but I still cant find a birth for that name so I presumed his real name would have been Charles like his father

RJ137 - remember we could be talking living people - it is against the rules of the site to name living people - best air on the side of caution. ;)

I see what you mean but my aunt said he has died as xmas cards stopped a few years ago
-
Could still be alive (in a nursing home, unable to write, moved house and lost address, etc.)
-
thanks you might be right,, the old aunt of mine would like to trace him if he is still alive as they are the only ones left in the family.
