Where have you looked? You can search 1911 census by occupation (for the father)

Who witnessed the marriage?

Simply cannot find who Im looking for here, I have a marriage certifate and this is what I know from that:

His name is Frederick Rogers, he was 29yrs old when he married in 1922 and he was a Stoker (Gas Works).
His fathers name was also Frederick Rogers and he was a Scaffolder.
He married my great grandmother Matilda May Leeds at Paddington Registry office in 1922 and at the time they both lived in Warrington Crescent, Maida Vale/Paddington.

I should say, my grandfather (Son of Matilda May Leeds) was born 2 years prior to this marriage and there is no father listed on his birth certificate. At that time, on the birth certificate, Matilda and her son (My grandfather) were resident in Milton Union Workhouse in Kent, then two years later Matilda marries Frederick Rogers and my grandfather was subsiquently given away. Matilda and Frederick then had two more children who were also given away.

I am trying to find out who Frederick was and where he came from etc. but Im a bit lost :-/

Can anyone help at all? Im not sure what to do next really!?

Thanks,
Elliot
