Do you have a copy of the marriage cert for father's name?

Hi, I'm trying to trace the parents of Henry William Major c1865 to 1918 from Silvertown E London.
(believed to be Also Henry William and Emily)
He was married to Florence(Tait). And possibly had 3 brothers and two sisters one believed to be Frederick John all other names unknown as the family were possible seperated following the Silvertown explosion of 1917.
He died at sea whilst serving as a merchant seaman in 1918 .Any information would be much appreciated by his surviving son Walter, now 94.
Many thanks,JG.
