Hi Sheelagh

>From several of the marriage certificates that I have on my family - if the
father was deceased it said so quite clearly - so I reckon that yours was
alive and kicking at that time as far as anybody at the wedding knew!!! As
a Master Mariner of course he might have been away for long periods, maybe
years at a time and with communications taking months sometimes - well you
never knew.

Sorry to leave a doubt there!

Kind regards
