I am after family tree and history of my father. His name is Alan Walter White born 1/9/1931 he maried my mother Mary Shepherd born 28/5/1937. The only information I have is his fathers name was Walter I have no dates for him and his mothers name was Clara Shaw who died sometime in 1969. Could any one please help with any information. THANKS.

This looks like the marriage in the GRO index:

GRO Marriages DEC Qtr 1926
WHITE Walter
SHAW Clara
ref: Sheffield 9c 938

As these are both common surnames you will definitely need to get a copy of the marriage certificate to make it easier to identify their parents. You can order online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ or from Sheffield Register Office.

I could not find a death entry for Clara White in Sheffield in 1969. Is it possible that she died in the previous year?:

GRO Deaths MAR Qtr 1968
WHITE Clara 68y
Sheffield 20 170
