Oh I am indeed lol I have bits of paper all over the place with stuff scribbled on them from this research and my own family research. I've been good though and I have everything transcribed to Ancestry as well as in Family Tree Maker (which has been backed up). I've done so much work that to lose it all now would be a disaster and a nightmare to reconstruct.

Here's an update for everyone - I received a birth certificate today of one of the children in this family and it turns out that my mother in law's parents were married - at the end of 1939 Looks like when war broke out they decided to become legitimate lol

The upshot of this is that I have now found a reference to their marriage certificate which I can now send off for and find out who the paternal grandparents were

Thank you everyone. This line of inquiry was very worth pursuing

Thats great, and hopefully it'll lead to much, much more info

It's always a bit of a puzzle when the parents leave things late in getting married, but at least they finally did it! 

Good luck

Wonderful    That must have made your mother-in-law feel better.  She must be following this with a great deal of interest & excitement,
