    3. Dear list members, I am new to this list and hoping someone can advise me. I am researching a family tale that suggests there is a distant family connection to this well known Leeds chef. The story goes on to say the connection arises through MPW's paternal line - the WHITE family. I have a copy of the marriage cert for MPW's parents and therein lies my problem. Marco's father was named Frank WHITE, the son of Frank WHITE according to his marriage cert. His age given on marriage would suggest the year of birth as 1927. I have contacted Leeds Register Office and they have searched for the birth of a Frank White, with father named Frank +/- 2 years either side of 1927 and come up with TWO options. Both born in Leeds and both in 1927. So now I am stumped as to which one is the correct set of parents! I also do not know the names if any, of siblings to MWP's father, so can't even work out who the parents were via his siblings. I have tried a search of google etc but cannot find anything that shows the genealogical "tree" of this celebrity, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, or can advise me on how to differentiate between the two sets of parents, I would be pleased to hear from you. I live in the West Country, so do not have access to local archives, libraries etc in Yorkshire, so any searching I need to do has to be done remotely. Thank you! Jayne
