Hi There

I'm trying to find details about the parents etc of Fred Ford (b 1889) in Staffordshire, and his wife Edith Barratt. I've found that they married in 1911 in Burton upon Trent and he died in 1918 in Tamworth, but can't seem to find them before that.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Louise

You really will need the marriage certificate to go further back with any certainty as they married post 1911 census - although I'm sure you've got this already:
