I recently received a 1962 marriage certificate for a long deceased great-aunt, finally learning her husband's full name, but I can't find him on the BMD Index or any English record sites, and think he may have been born in Scotland.. other family members say he did have an accent that might have been Scottish, but their memories are a little fuzzy. The certificate names him as David Henderson Thompson, born in 1939, father's name was Joseph Meredith Thompson.
I wonder if anyone can help me find him, or his family. I have no idea where in Scotland he would have been born, sorry. :(

What was her name and where was the marriage please? It may help trace him, when did she pass away?

@Milliepede, her name was Margaret Kathleen Stenning and they married in a Register Office in Poole, Dorset, England on January 6th, 1962. She died in December 2005.

@Milliepede, her surname would have been Crumpler at death. At the time of marriage she lived in Blandford and he was at the Army camp in Piddlehinton, Dorchester.
