Henry's birth does not appear to have been registered, so your only hope is the marriage cert - and then cross your fingers that he knew his father

I am researching the Troke family tree and am stuck. i would like to go back further than Henry and Caroline but cannot find their births or who their paretns were. There is also some confusionn with their children who were Harry, George, Emily(known as gertrude), James (may have been known as William), Harriet and Agnes. Confusion is that on one census Caroline is the mother of James but on another it is Mary Troke. On one census both Caroline and Mary live in same houshold.
After Caroline died Henry marries a Mary but they do not have any children.
Can anyone help :-S
