Find Ancestors

i am trying to find hubert bell 1890, on his marriage certificate to florence lily brenton in stafford in 1919 it shows his dad as alfred bell. i found a war record for a hubert bell of the same age and serving from stafford at the time he signed up in 1914. i found one record for a hubert bell from lenton and got a copy of his birth certificate but only shows his mothers name as charlotte bell, dressmaker and fathers name is blank. any ideas on where to go next please.
regards julie

Maybe he made up his dads name on the M/C

heres the 1891

thats where i found the link with the war record for lenton nottingham and and that census with him being a nurse child, that enabled me to find his birth record so i got a copy of his birth certificate and drew a blank as his fathers name wasn't on it, but his marriage certificate shows him as alfred.

Looks as if his parents weren't married when he was born - it was quite common for illiegitimate children to make up a father's name when they married.

This looks like him in 1891:

yes thats the same as i found to order the birth certificate from. i aslo found his death record in stafford 1966 but that didn't show where he was born.
i found hubert in the 1891 census but not in 1901. i found a record for an alfred bell and a charlotte in the 1891 census from nottingham and they have a daughter about the same age but no record of them together in 1901.
