I have managed to find my Gradfather's death cert (James Henry John Kent born in 1914 died in 1982) but it's actually his dads (my great grandfather) I'm struggling with -
Harry Kent born around 1890 (assuming roughly same age as his wife) married Adelaide Wright in 1912 and lived in Surbiton once married but I don't know anything more about him and really struggled to get anything on census records.
Anything that people can assist with would be much appreceated.

You really need the marriage cert for his age and fathers details (if shown) to help you in the search
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Sep 1912 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kent Harry Wright Kingston 2a 943 Wright Adelaide M Kent Kingston 2a 943
Its a common name and you don't want to follow the wrong family

The marriage cert is the best option. It will give you facts. Making assumptions can be very dangerous

I've managed to get Harry and Adelaides marriage cert and it confirms all teh details that Polly gave me -
Marriage Record Name Harry Kent Year of Marriage 1912 Quarter of Marriage Jul-Aug-Sep Registration District Kingston Registration County Surrey Spouse's Surname Wright Volume Number 2A Volume Page 943
Spouse Match: Harry KENT married Adelaide M WRIGHT
Name Adelaide M Wright Year of Marriage 1912 Quarter of Marriage Jul-Aug-Sep Registration District Kingston Registration County Surrey Spouse's Surname Kent Volume Number 2A Volume Page 943
The issue I still have is that I now know that Harry Kent's Dad ws called Henry Kent and both Harry and Henry were Greengrocers but no more details. When Harry got married he lived in the Surbitton area but I'm struggling looking at the census records to be 100% sure that the details I've found are his.
Harry was 26 when he got marred in 1912 so DOB is around 1886. His wife was 23 when they got married so born around 1889. She I've managed to find details on .
Any I being daft and just failing to join some of the dots on this one?? Any help again would be very welcome.

The witnesses were someone called Henry James Kent and Adelaides isn't readable.
Unfortunatelly the marriage cert doesn;t give addresses it's just gives the parish of surbiton for Henry and long ditton for Adelaide.
