	This looks like mum and dads marriage - another cert for you to buy Marriages Mar 1919 Wark Thomas M Winchester W. Ham 4a 52 Winchester Gertrude Wark W.Ham 4a 52 Possibly dads birth: Births Dec 1898 Wark Thomas Michael Highworth 5a 6 Theres a few choices for Gertrude Winchester's birth, so you do need to buy that marriage cert above for her fathers name and occupation.

	Of course all these people may be the wrong generation without knowing his likely birth date?!!! If you give us some more detail Im sure with a name that unusual it will be an interesting line for you to follow. Is this him? Name: Leonard Victor Wark Birth: 29 Nov 1921 Death: Mar 1995 - Havering, Essex
