Trying to find the parents of Harold F C Metcalfe and Ethel I Ellicott. They married in Torquay, Devon in March 1948. Harold died around 1970 in Torquay. Ethel died in Torquay in 1996. Ethel was born in Plymouth in November 1911. Would like to find Harold's date of birth, parents names etc. Also Ethel parents and siblings. Any help much appreciated.

Brilliant that certainly is him. Can you look to see f you can see Ethels parents. Im sure she had brothers and sisters. They should be in the 1911 census in Plymouth.
