Find Ancestors

I am trying to find information on Thomas Hurford born in Dorset died in Romford 1936 he married but dont know who to, he had 4 sons William Norman David and Warren all born in America

When was he born - and where do you think the marriage took place, England or America?

The only Romford death ican see is:

Deaths Sep 1939 (>99%)
HURFORD Thomas 79 Romford 4a 505

Jan

The children's birth cert. will give you their mothers name and maiden name which will help find a marriage for their parents.
How old was he when he died and when did he come back to England?
Did his children come back with him?

what about this ?
