Just wondering whether anyone has come across Vance MICKLETHWAITE? I can't fit him into any of the various branches of Micklethwaites in my ONS. Vance was born SepQ 1957 in Stoke RD, mother's maiden name WYLES. He married twice (1981, 1986), had 2 children (1988, 1990) and died (1996) - all in Leicester. I know the name of the other parties but given Rootsweb's rules of engagement on living persons can't mention them here. I know I could get a marriage certificate which would give his father's name (maybe!) which I might eventually do - when I win the lottery, and can buy all the certs I need for the ONS! I can't find a Micklethwaite/Wyles marriage anywhere, and wondered whether any of you lateral-thinking folks could. The birth in Stoke is a rare BMD event for a Micklethwaite in Stoke - the only other one I've come across is for my parents in 1942 - I do have the cert for that :-) Best Wishes, Andy.

Andy - have you considered these possibilities. 1 Vance was born out of wedlock but the father , ???? Micklethwaite agreed he was the father 2 when the parents married she was a Widow (divorcee) and therefore would have married under another name. Last but not least why think of getting his marriage certificate rather than his BIRTH certificate. On his marriage cert you will get who he states is his father, whereas on the birth certificate you will get his Mother for definite, together with any former names she had, and also who SHE says is his father !! I know which I would go for Steve

Thanks Steve. 3 very good thoughts. Now just waiting for the lottery or a premium bond to get funding for the certs for the ONS! Cheers, Andy.
