Help finding Alexander Martin before 1940
« on: Sunday 26 January 25 19:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I am looking for the above named person but not having any look at all. Alexander was married in 1940 to Elsie Hams in Swindon Wiltshire but before this date i cannot find any record for him anywhere. I have his death in Lincoln Lincolnshire in 1980 and his date of birth is given as 28 August 1911 but that is all i know. I know i will most likely have to get his marriage certificate to find his dads name but i thought i would give you guys a shot first to see what you can come up with. Any help appreciated in advance x

Have you tried using that birthdate on the 1939 register?

Have you checked Scotlands People - several entries

There is an Alec Martin Sept qtr 1911 on freebmd

Hi Carole
I have just purchased the digital copy of the birth of the above Alec Martin that you found for me and sadly it isnt the correct one, this Alec Martin was born 10 December 1908 but not registered until 8 July 1911 x

Unfortunately he was born after the 1911 census which won't help if he was b Scotland.  Let's hope the marriage cert shows his father had a very unusual christian name🤞🤞
