Frank Vernon Hammond

[hare krsna]

I'm not sure how to work this site, but I want to start a search on my late father Frank Vernon Hammond.

The only information I have is that he married my mother on 7th April, 1947, when he was 26 years old and she was 21. The Registration District was Malvern, in the District of Upton upon severn, in the County of Worcester. My mother was called Dorothy Patience Willis.

At the time my father was in the Royal Air Force (L.A.C.634989). He was living at 21 Bell Lane, Frome, Somerset. His father was a Frank Walter Hammond.

From the detail you provide, it seems like you may have the marriage certificate for your parents. What is it you want to search on for your dad?
If you are after tracing his ancestry, the first thing you will need is his birth certificate. Births, marriages and deaths registered in England + Wales since 1837 are included in the General Register Office (GRO) indexes.

You can search the GRO index either at the Family Records' Centre (FRC) in London; copied onto fiches at many Local Studies's Libraries, and also online at a pay-per-view website 1837 online.

The index is only a reference with which you can then apply for a copy of the certificate via the GRO website http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

The birth certificate will record when and where he was born and also his parents' names (including mother's maiden name) and father's occupation. With this deatil, you may be able to locate your grandparents on the 1901 census.
If your grandparents were married at the time of their son's birth, you then need to use the GRO marriage index to try and locate the relevant reference. In checking the GRO index of marriages, you should find an entry under both grandparents' names, which has the same district, volume and page.

If you are after something else to do with your father, let us know what it is that you are trying to locate.
