And
Marriages Sep 1899
Riley Joseph Henry W. Bromwich 6b 1275
Shelton Mary W. Bromwich 6b 1275

So not born 1899 then

Edit but no 1900 birth reg though

So maybe you need the marriage cert for his father's name

EDIT this is not the right family, as it gives 2 children living , 1 died ( mmn for Florence is Shelton , so can't be that marriage)

Thankyou Nyx & Shirley that is the family in Castleford Is the info you provided from 1939

this is just a guess though

What detail would be on the marriage Cert for Williams marriage to Clara Atack 1922 Pontefract W Yorkshire

bump

It will give his father's name and occupation ( if known) which may help place them on the 1911. Also possible that relatives are named as witnesses which may also help.

Thanyou all for your help it is very much appreciated

There are annotated examples of English/Welsh pre-1969 BMD certs towards the end of:

(also on Military Board, I found below, but, would still advise getting 1922 Marriage Cert.)
