MADDEN & LATEGAN SURNAMES

[Nookie]

Where can I get a copy of these documents, these may reveal a skeleton in the family cupboard. Bernard I think was my grandfather, Am interested that he was obviously married to Jocelyn in 1936, however my father was born in 1933, his mother was Marjorie Thompson.

For no other reason, but just for interest I see that Jocelyn did not have a very good record when it came to marriages!

Michael James  must be a common first name for the Maddens, as my dad Michael James born 1933 is alive and well at 80 years old, now  living in Queensland Australia. I have an extract of my gransfathers birth certificate. How do I go about getting a copy of the original?

So sorry about that  

I know that copies of many baptismal records have been scanned and are on line through familysearch, but I have no idea where you would get a copy of the original birth certificate.  As far as I know you can only obtain an extract.  Possibly someone with better knowledge of this could help.

Have contacted Cape & Tvl archives and wawiting reply...got WW1 records of James Bernard Madden with signature and waiting to verify with Madden/Lategan marriage certificate. To untrained eye both signatures from same person!

[Nookie]

Do you know where and when they were married?  If so it might be possible to find a copy of their marriage certificate on familysearch.

The tombstone does not belong to my father  Michael James Madden born 1933. My dad is still alive and well and living in Queensland Australia. I have however got a copy of James Bernards WW1 records and the signature these closely resembles that on the marriage certificate mentioned in the first post above. The signatures are very similar and I am getting a handwriting expert to confirm if they were both signed by the same person. If they are, this means my grandfather was still married to Jocelyn Lategan in 1933 when my father was born to him and my grandmother Marjorie Carey. !!

It is always interesting discovering the hidden secrets in a family tree!  I think it makes all the searching for information just so much more exciting

[Gail Madden]

Have just found an extract of a marriage certificate of James and Marjorie, They were married in 1937, 3 years after son Michael was born, and the 7 has been altered to a 2. He only divorced Jocelyn Lategan in 1936!

Ah - it is always amazing to discover the tangled webs of a family tree!
