If you haven't got his marriage cert is it possible that you have the wrong person?

There is a William John R Long born 1881 reg Bethnal Green - Glitter Baby has mentioned what is probably his marriage above.

it's possible that the age on the census is wrong as they were often filled in by the person collecting the information, because so many people couldn't write themselves, can't sem to find him otherwise, good luck with this one.

Cert came from general reg office.
and no other siblings match.
I cant seem to find grandparents I know his grand father was Richard Long??

Jill 2011 (aka Warrior Princess of Cilla!) Report 28 Apr 2008 23:09

Could he have been know by one of his other names - rather than William?

Does his age match any of his other siblings?

Failing that - have you tracked both sets of grandparents to see if he's with one of them?
