Find Ancestors

Hello all,

Really stuck on this. Dorothy & Albert were married just after the 1911 census, and because their children (one of which was my Grandad Alexander) were born after this time, I can't be sure that the people I have found with the same names and birth dates are actually them.
I know very little about them, but I've listed what I know below:
Albert James Porter, b.1893 in West Ham, London. d. in Leyton. My Uncle's Tree states that Albert was a Dockworker / Meat Porter in later life.
Dorothy Johnson, b.1892. I think her middle initial might be L.

Can anyone advise how I might be able to verify the individuals I have found so far?

Many thanks, Looby

Thanks so much for helping me, Jax!
I really appreciate you doing all that research.
I will try to get hold of the marriage certificate to see if I can confirm some of your findings. I'll keep you posted!
Many thanks! :-)

I think Jax's death is correct - here is his probate:

Omg! Thank you so much Flip. That's a great bit of info! :0)

There are a few mistakes. The name is Porter.

Albert J is married and is a Labourer (Cold air store and wharf)

His birth date could be 30 Jan 1893.


Oh and Alexander J is a METAL polisher!


There is one officially closed record.

David, it's 4 years since looby04 posted - you could try to send her a Personal message by clicking on her name. GR will notify her of your message to her, if she has the same email address as she registered with them. Then you have to hope she replies - many reasons why she might not.

AAGGHH! Thanks greyghost, I didn't even notice the date.
