	Have you seen the marriage certificate?? If so, what is the name of Michael's father on there? what makes you think he might have been born in St Helens? Did they move back to England? Have you considered whether they followed the naming pattern? This can often give clues to parental names.
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
