Ann, the image says Trowbridge. I dont know how close that Southwick in 1891 would be.

Southwick is very near to Trowbridge only a mile or so.

Job(joab) would have been 15ish when married if he had been born in 1871.
There are some Westbury ones from an earlier date.
As Heather has said may be best to Marriage cert then you will find out Job's father's name.

LOL, see that have the sons age as 81 in the 1901 transcription.

May be Job was never registered at birth (not compulsory til late 1875) or may be he uses a second name or nickname.

I wonder? Bit taken by the step brothers names of William Frank - perhaps only a coincidence

If you bought their marriage certificate you would have his fathers name and occupation which would help you trace him in the earlier census. £7 using the GRO ref from GRO online.

Job (Joab) Deacon married Kate Lawrence, Q4 1896, Dewsbury. In the 1901 census they are living in Hackney with their son William Frank Deacon c1900. The census has Job born in Trowbridge c1871, but I can find no trace of a birth record for Job Deacon there or then.
Job always told his grand daughter that he was 'dragged up in Yorkshire', alluding to harsh and unhappy childhood.
Job and Kate had a daughter, Dorothy Catherine Deacon b1901, Hackney, she was my fathers step mother, so I would like to trace this part of my family, can anyone help me please?
