Are you guessing his birth year? Or do you have the marriage cert?

Have you found him on any census?

Where did you learn that he was born in Lancashire?

OK< wll you need to match him with a father on the census.

Q.what is his fathers name?
A. Dont know

This info is on his marriage cert - it tells you how old he was AND his fathers name.

When we have matched him with a potential father, then we can start to wonder abouts sibs ( but only then)

ther is also a percy born 1898 at keighley but cant find any census on them

Sadly without his fathers name you could end up on the wring line, its worth £7 and a nice thing to keep as a memento.
