Do you have any parents names ?

Albert's parents could have been samuel and mary ann OR he was a boarder according to the only 2 listed for 1881 ?

Samuel maybe William and Albert's father, Jayne?
I was trying to tie them all together via a census
but having no luck.

If you bought the marriage certificate it would hopefully give you the father's name and possibly an address and also ? siblings as witnesses. It should also have on it his age at marriage which would help greatly to find a date of birth

Jane
William was born 1904 (or at least was 28 years old in April 1932 according to his marriage certificate).
I cannot find his birth records however, do you have any ideas?? I'm stuck.

Paul,

Could he have been born before his parent's married? If so, the birth could be registered in the Mother's maiden name? Does it list a father on the marriage cert? We may be able to track him down through his father's marriage giving the mother's maiden name?

Best Wishes
