Looking for my birth father, only can find his birth certificate, and his marriage certificate to my mum. Born in 1946, any help or any relations

Hi Dawn.
Just a comment - do you mean 1946?
There might be 2 marriages for him, were you aware of this? Assuming he married in the 70's?

Well the marriage cert to your mum will give his age and fathers name if known And sometimes a witness could be family.

Wont your mum give you any family background for him?

his birth will be on FreeBMD and his mothers maiden name was Morris

You may need to buy his cert for his parents names and he was born just post WW2 when people werent living in their usual area of birth

Welcome to the boards Dawn.

If you go to SEARCH towards the top right of your screen, then go down to Search all member trees, you can see if anyone has listed people of interest to you.
2 people might have Lance in their trees.
Click on their name to communicate privately with them and hopefully share information.

its very strange his birth is listed twice in 1946 and 1967

When was he married to your mum because FMP is only showing a 1970 marriage for him

Shirley, the possible 2nd marriage is recorded as Lance N V Nicholson - it's a bit hard to tell if it's an H or an N on the image. It's in the same place though, 4 years later.
I noticed that other birth record too, very odd isn't it!

Dawn, if you are sure of the birth, my advice would be to get his birth cert. This will give you details of his parents, which might give you something else to work on.
You haven't commented on the possibility he married again?

His birth was registered under the surname Miller. Perhaps his mother remarried later.
