I can see the death record, but I can't find his birth. Do you have his marriage cert? If so what was his age and his fathers name?

EDIT Can't see the marriage with details given

Where have you got your info from?

There is no birth showing in Eng/Wales....could he have been in Scotland/Ireland or even overseas?

You need the marriage cert to be sure you are tracing the correct one.

The one born Bromyard is looking as if it could be the one.

you really have to get at least one of tha marriage certificates.


That will give you the name of his fater, and then we can search on the censuses for the right family.

His parents are the 1901 census that I posted for you earlier

Hmmm...maybe not the right census
