Just a note of caution - not every marriage certificate correctly identifies whether fathers are or aren't deceased. Plenty of times I have been searching for ancestors only to find that they had already died, it just wasn't recorded on the marriage certificates of their children. It's most definitely not a hard and fast rule.
