Hi Linda,
Does his "marriage" certificate name his parents? I know you mentioned his death cert does but what I really need is the names and exact spellings from his marriage cert, if they are listed>
I have been really scouring records and cannot find anything positive on him but usually when this happens it's due to a couple of reasons, one being they were illegitimate and given the mothers surname at birth but later the mother marries and the father/step fathers name is taken on OR they are born but later the father dies and mother remarries and the stepfathers name is taken on.
I'm just hoping if he names his parents (especially the mother) on his marriage cert we might be able to find possible births and match them to a later remarriage for the mother to a LLOYD.
