Right,this is my theory,for what it's worth.Ellen Married one those options mentioned above.She's widowed and marries Jack Govier.Can't find that mariage because Jack is really some other name ie John and Ellen marries using her late husbands name not maiden!Hows that?

Why don't you order the birth certificate as already suggested by several posters. The point I tried to make yesterday is that all previous of his mother should be on his birth certificate. It would also give father's name, possibly a fuller version. Take things a step at a time. Order the birth cert, get the info, then look for the marriage with extra info.
Less painful than banging your head!

OK, I give in ... I'll order the birth certificate! 

Many thanks to Newfy, Osprey, Gwen J and Tati for the help. 

Don't be surprised when I post another topic in about a week's time with the same names ... again!

P.S Some Death Certs give place of birth.That might be worth a try to establish that you've got the right Phillip Govier.

Gwen - it's either James Dow Clarke Jones or Albert Edward Burtonshaw, apparently  :-\

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but Ellen Meagher(b1880) married my great great uncle Albert Edward Burtonshaw (b1887 d1911) He's burried in Danygraig cemetry Swansea.
best wishes M
