Marine something?

Thanks perhaps not on a census then?

I think all this info is correct, but I can't find him in 1891, there are a couple of anomalies that I have to sort re his parentage, on his marriage certificate in 1888 he states his father is a mining engineer but other census records show he is a lace agent, Oh and the Marine something is I believe Marine Fireman

If all else fails!

Births Sep 1859 (>99%)
Lawrence Henry Nottingham 7b 212

Jan

The 1881 found by jansmith looks very possible then?

????

Deaths Jun 1890 (>99%)
Lawrence Henry 30 Doncaster 9c 464

I agree, what is confusing me is he shown as a newspaper reporter with his father a lace agent and on his marriage certificate he is a marine fireman and his father a mining engineer, would the 1891 census have included those at sea?

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert?

a john and phoeby booth , the marriage was in Hull so there were no members of his family present I guess.

You might need his birth cert to be sure. I see he married as Harry though, assuming this is him:

Marriages Jun 1888 (>99%)
Lawrence Harry Hull 9d 322
Shaw Nancy Hull 9d 322
STRAKER George Fox Hull 9d 322
Watson Ann Hull 9d 322

Yes have his birth cert shows parents as Henry & Rebecca (Henry as Lace Agent) its just the fact that I cant really tie him down given that his occupation changed, he died as a result of his ship being sunk during WW1, that I do know, its just niggling me that I cant find him in 1891
