Hi Im hoping someone can help me? I have just received my greatgrandparents marriage cert from 1933. They are Albert Yarwood age 37 and Nora Jones age 23. I have found the birth record of Nora but I cant of Albert. Alberts father was called William Arthur Yarwood and was hopnig to find some info on census records but I cant find that either! I know he was born around the knutsford/ Dunham area but I cant seem to find anything! Cheers in advance Colette
