The daughter married in 1986……there is a possible second marriage for the groom in 1991. Verification essential

No further record for the daughter as far as I can see

According to the daughter's birth reg, MMN was SMITH, so a Mr Childs could have been named as Pauline’s father when Pauline married. Perhaps she was illegitimate and her mother later married a Childs

The marriage cert should at least indicate how old each of them was at the time, thus enabling searches for births

Pauline Smith wasn't married to Mr Childs, but apparently used his name for a while.

Or used the name Childs for some other reason.

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 6 Feb 2025 18:44

ForMERly Smith means that was her maiden name.

The answer will be on the marriage certificate, hopefully

Let us know when you get it

The record you posted is available to all, and I checked it when you first posted your request.

So you KNEW her maiden name was Smith!!!!.


If you need further help once the marriage cert arrives..............just ask.

EriksH,

1962 Birth certificate for daughter Geraldine Helen gives mother Pauline Shirley Tozer formally Smith

I will order the Marriage Certificate.

Ian

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 6 Feb 2025 17:23

That doesn't help with births and deaths for the couple in question, although it does tell you the woman's maiden name

Get the MARRIAGE CERT

The daughter's birth reg does not have second initial S.................and neither does her marriage reg

EDITED

I see you've changed her name on your post

ErikaH,

I am looking at Ancestry UK and BDM

The woman dissolved a business partnership with Renzi in 1981.
Entry in the London Gazette on FMP

Renzi re-married in 1987.

May be living, so caution is essential. He is on ER to 2008

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 6 Feb 2025 14:06

They were together in 1968/9 living in Fulham Road

'Childs or Smith' for the woman means either she was married before, or her alleged father's surname differed from hers

Aren't you using freebmd?????

...........and the GRO is also FREE

Unless you know how old they were when they married, how can you hope to find births and/or deaths? Get a copy of the marriage cert for info
