Do you know when your grandmother Mary died?

[MyAngel1920]

that could be right, I was not sure if my father was older, or the same age, just he had to marry her because she was pregnant and they married in 1962,  so that William may well be right, thanks all at least its a start

[MyAngel1920]

I think Mary my grandmother died around the time 1990's

[dawnsh]

do you know where in the list of children your father was born, one of the first or last or in the middle?

[MyAngel1920]

No marriage cert, just page copy, I am thinking obtaining this will be a good start, I think its going to be a tricky one, 17 children too

[MyAngel1920]

I don't know what position in the siblings he took, a girl was the first born I know that much

Could Mary's maiden name have been Taylor Hardy?
Possible marriage: Mary Hardy to Edward Graham Jan./Mar.1932 Stockton district
if so, I've found 14 possible children born 1932-1953 (the eldest not a girl) which I can send by PM since many of them could still be living

There's a William Graham mmn Hidey March 1943, no marriage in the index for this but he sits nicely between 2 potential siblings born March 1942 and December 1944 and a possible death 1992 in Central Cleveland district.

You really need the 1962 marriage certificate as a 1st step

I have been offline for a while and notice you have received some good help and advice. Looking at your profile and age as 95, I mistakenly expected events related to your grandparents to have occured longer ago and perhaps the family may appear in the 1911 and 1901 censuses. I see that is not the case. 

I would agree that purchasing the 1962 marriage certificate is the best way to begin this journey.
