Find Ancestors

I am trying to find information on Ralph Perry (Dob approx 1880) he was my grandmother’s father, her name was Gladys Perry and she was born on the 13th of September 1904.The only info I have on Ralph Perry is that he is listed on my grandmother’s marriage certificate in 1926 at All Saints Church in Manchester. His occupation is listed as Labourer and lived at 79 Higher Ormond street Manchester. My grandmother said he also had something to do with the Sea (not sure if he was in the Royal Navy or the Merchant Navy) but I have not been able to find any info about him in any census records or war records.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It states (although crossed through by enumerator) that Marion had been married 8 years and had had 6 children - 2 of them were still living and 4 had died.

I can't see Ralph anywhere !

There is a Death for a Ralph Newbold Perry in 1975 (DOB May 1885) in Manchester.

There is a Ralph (N) Perry on the 1939 census in Manchester. Living at 2 Kippax Street. DoB May 1887.

Could this be your man?

Cinders :-D

Don't think so, Cinders. Well, not unless Marion had died or they'd divorced by 1907.
