Thanks Alice. But if a marriage certificate does not say"deceased" against
the father's name would that mean he must have been alive?

You may clearly not draw that conclusion.
Other list members have the same experience as myself - a marriage
certificate with father's name and no mention of his having deceased, when
he had died some while before.
You also have to bear in mind that the father's name was supplied by the
people getting married. They weren't always right.
