The marriage certificate will give his age and father's name and occupation.

where do i get certificate from do you know who he married so easy when it's local

I did a quick search on 1911 census for John Calvert, Soldier and the only one to show is this one:-

could this be him?

You can get the certificate from GRO in Roscommon in Ireland. Quote the refernces and they reduce the price to 8 euros but you can get a copy of the entry cheaper. They will accept cash euros if you send it signed for.

i don't know if that would be him or not i don't have place or date of birth i once heard an uncle say he came from cambridgeshire way but who knows the only thing i am sure about is his name and the fact my gran now passed was born in dublin
driving me made it is . great to have repiles

Thanks rootgatherer when i have some cash spear i'll send of for them . can't wait to find out who my gran's mum was. my gran had a hard life in ireland and spent some time in care i think a workhouse. before she left taking her brother and sister with her to england.

You say John Chapman came back to England and died in Nottingham. Do you know when he died as this could help find his date of birth?

No Catherine i don't i do know he died in birkin avenue Radford / hyson green my uncle told me that some years ago my uncle was born in 1947 and he remember seeing him but that's not much help is it

If he was born in Cambridgeshire then there is this one also that I missed:-

i have just been on google maps and found little saxam near cambridge / bury st edmounds

The John Chapman in the 1911 census was born in Cambridge, and was a Lance Corporal in the North Stafford Regiment.

Just thought!
What is noted on your Grandmother's marriage cert.? If her father was dead at the time he would be noted as deceased. This could narrow his death date down.
