Information on BMD certs is only as good as the informant's knowledge or belief. |

When my grandparents married in 1900, full details are given of their fathers, with no mention of whether or not they were deceased but I already had the death certificate of the bride's father, who had died when she was 3 years old. |

Have you looked for a parish burial of the man before the date of the first marriage (in case he died before 1837 when registration was introduced). |

It depends on how the question about the father was worded. If no reference was made to his mortality, the respondent may have simply not volunteered the information. |

If a father's name and occupation appear on a GRO Marriage Certificate does this signify that he was then still alive? |
