I am really struggling finding my great grandad's birth or death certificates. He was married to May Didlick in 1928 and had two children, Geoffrey (1929) and Margaret (1938). Can anyone send me in the right direction?

Thanks ladies.

I found the marriage, just can't find his birth or death.

Stourbridge is the correct area.

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate, which hopefully gives his father's name and occupation.
This might help find him in earlier records.

When was he last known to be alive?
Was he a witness at his children's marriages?
With such a common name, we need to limit the possible years to search.
