Im surprised you have managed to research for 2 years without buying a certificate?

They cost £7 using the GRO reference (as given above) - only every buy them from:

You can find birth, marriage and death refs up to the early 20th century from freebmd

here is the marriage ref
Marriages Dec 1915
Round Elizabeth spouse Day W.Bromwich 6b 1944

I really think the only way is get certs to stay on the right tree

Have you got the marriage cert of 1915?

That would give you a guide as to his age and (hopefully) name of his fahter.

Somewhere he will appear in the 1901 census but without a rough idea of when he was born it's hard to pick him out from the possibles.

I have been researching my tree for a couple of years now and going great on one side of my family but other i am struck and its all becase I cannot find anything out about my Grandfather on my fathers side. His name I Frederick Day and was married to Elizabeth Round they married in 1915 that is fact and i know that he was still alive in 1955, as he is on my mums wedding photos but how can i find out more - his birth and subsequently more , any suggesting would be appreciated thanks Pat
