He married Sarah Roberts. I will ask my father in law if he has any certificates or information, (but his memories are a bit vague) and get back to you
Thanks again for your help

But you said it was John Cross his father that you needed to find.

As we know Percy's birth, have you got his birth certificate to tell us his father's occupation and his mother's maiden name. And the date of marriage.

And do you then know when his parents married, and the occupations of their fathers? Or is that where you are stuck.

Yes Percy was born in Westbury, that much we know, the only information I have is that his father was called John. Thanks for all your replies, and I am so grateful for any help in finding Percy's parents

I am looking for John Cross born or resided in Gloucestershire/Wiltshire area around 1860/70s who had a son called Percy John. Percy was "farmed out" to a family in Pontefract, West Yorkshire as a young boy. We are told his parents couldn't afford to raise him. Any information would be gratefully received
Thank you
