Glitter,
Yes, that's the one I found, but the Dad's name is different.

I wonder if there would be any reason not to give your Dad's real names?

I have ordered Maud's and James' birth certs, but they take 2 weeks to get to New Zealand and was hoping to find something in the meantime.

Thanks!

on my G Grandparents marriage cert:

Dec 25th 1906.
Birmingham.

James Docker. Age 33. Bachelor. Fitter.
His Father is named as John Docker - Brass Finisher.

Maud Lily Rhodes. Age 25. Spinster.
Her Father is named as Joseph Rhodes - Brass Finisher.


Witnesses: John Leonard Rhodes and Ada Rhodes.

I'm sure it's the right cert.

However, I can't find either James or Maud on any census' with those named Fathers.

Am I being thick??!
