I can't read the occupation properly but it looks like assistant road - and then I can't read the rest.

Is there a house number on Great Francis Street? - It has ever such a lot of houses !!!

So that fills in all the census returns and there isn't a John Campbell living with him.

Cherry Blossom, Johns father was Hugh (deceased) & he was a paver.

What was the name and occupation of John's father from the marriage certificate Diane?

Jax. My grandfather was married on April 4th 1915 at St.Annes Church, Aston, B.ham, to Minnie Grace. He was a case hardener, & lived in Gt. Ffrancis street, b.ham.

I wonder if anyone can help me in tracing where my grandfather (above) was born.
There is a John Campbell mentioned on the 1901 census born 1888 in Birmingham and on the 1911 census a John Cambell residing as a lodger also born in Birmingham
I have looked at the birth indexes for both years of 1888 and 1889 (which i am lead to believe he was born in either year) but nothing has turned up
I am lead to think he was probably born elsewhere.
The only info about him is that his father was Hugh,, and he had a brother called Lawrence.
