Yes, grandparents m cert, 1914. Both were living at Marsh Cottages, Sealand

(two different addresses!) which is where my mother was born.

Haven't been able to read Kite's Ancestry post so can't confirm 1891 info at the

moment.

Ok, I had the right marriage but the wrong couple in 1939 (because your grandfather was dec'd?), so I had the wrong dob for him and therefore the wrong father as I hadn't seen the cert!

Thanks goodness for that! lol

Not sure, but 1943 I'd guess 1943.

So, from the census record Kate posted, the mmn for the children is Richardson, so:

Marriages Mar 1870
RANDLES Richard Chester 8a 461
Richardson Emma Chester 8a 461

Funnily enough, the 'other' (wrong) John Randles (B 1888) was the son of another Randles/Richardson couple! (perhaps they are all related?!)

That's worrying if your John is the one on the 1939 register though. What do you know about his wife Lily (Wright). Do you know her birthday or anything?

(I have to keep telling myself, you have the marriage cert, you have the marriage cert, you have the marriage cert! lol)

Ah, I may have worked it out now.

You said your grandfather was born 1887, but he was born 1888. He is the one on the 1939 register with wife Lily and died in 1943. This is his birth reg:

RANDLES, JOHN mmn RICHARDSON
GRO Reference: 1888 J Quarter in CHESTER Volume 08A Page 419

This was the birth reg I attrubuted to the child of a different couple on the 1891 census.

So, as you were!
