But a copy of the marriage certificate to find out what his job was

Dear Friends,
Thankyou so much for your help with the request i put forward earlier today.
I will let the person know tomorrow what you have posted so far and know this will be a huge comfort to him as i believe he never knew his farther, George B Watson,so any further help would be much appreciated.
Once again i thankyou kindly.
Yours in success,
Glenn.

He should get the marriage cert for George and Nora for its info

Was George actually named on your friend's birth certificate?

First child born 12 years after 1933 and right before the mother remarried. I'm a bit skeptical.

Glenn,

If George were named as the father, his occupation would be on your friend's birth certificate.
