Find Ancestors

I need some help finding a John Thomas Fletcher on the census records he was 22 when he wed on the 18th Nov 1911 and his father was listed as William Fletcher deceased. Williams occupation was listed as an Edge Tool Forger. I am assuming John Thomas Fletcher was born Wolverhampton but do not know for definate! Thank you

Where did he marry ?

If his father was deceased this could be him. his mum had beenremarried for 9 years

Who did he marry ?

Julia H Clayton or Rosabella Davies (Davis)

Both can be found in 1911 in Staffordshire


Julia is in Wolverhampton

Possible for Rosabella Davis in West Bromwich

I cant make surname out properly. His address was 2 Court Williamson st Wolverhampton and his occupation was a carter.
