Find Ancestors

Help please I am trying to trace my Grandad and relatives of his, he was born between Jan - mar 1889 and died in 1946. He married a Florence Edwards whose surname was previously Sorby from a previous marriage, they married between Oct-Dec 1919. All dates were in Sheffield South Yorkshire or West Riding in those days, I have had no luck in finding any information at all about him and am not at a dead end. Any help would be greatly appreciated

His first name would help..........

Reg

Hi Thanks everybody sorry about the forename it is James, also he had a brothers called Frank and Albert and sisters called Kate and Bertha. Thanks June for the info but I had already found that one and it didnt match up, really am at a dead end with this.
Cheers Dee

You start by saying you have no information.........then give the names of his siblings............so you do actually have a lot of info.

What precisely are you hoping to learn?

Have you got his marriage cert?

Reg

It's not a dead end if you cough up 7 pounds

This family has a Frank, Albert and Kate but the mother's too old to go on and have James:

I only learnt of my grandads other siblings just before my dad died in Feb this year, but I cannot find any trace of them altogether in any census, so I am not sure if he got these aunts and uncles mixed up, and I dont seem to be able to find anything on my grandad in any of the census either. Would I beable to buy my grandads marriage cert from the local registrar or do I have to send away for it? please help

Think this is the family transcribed as Banister and James is listed as Jennie:
