Legal obligation ?
« on: Friday 21 January 11 13:44 GMT (UK) »
Hello all

Hope somebody can help me-Is it a legal requirement to state if the father on a marriage certificate is deceased ?
If it is,when was that law brought in ?

I am trying to find my GGGF and his childrens marriages both include him on the certificate,but I cannot trace him anywhere,which leads me to think he was deceased,(childrens marriages 1842 and 1856)

All help greatefully received
