You need to get the 1882 birth certificate (as well as that 1906 marriage certificate)

Have found that 1901 cenus very unreliable.
knew that he was born in Kirton in 1884 but is not on 1901 census.
Am going to get Birth Certificat but cannot get any data off any Virth other than Agnes born in Scotland,
Beatrice Emma Baker born in Yarmouth 1886 again no 1901 data
Very new to this so any pointers is very much appreciated.
Thankyou Cynthia

How do you mean that the 1901 census is unreliable?

Added:
I cannot see a Beatrice Emma Baker born Yarmouth on free bmd.

Have you got the marriage certificate for them for Fathers' names?

ErikaH Report 16 Mar 2012 14:43

The info on the 1901 census is, as with all censuses, as given to the enumerators by the heads of the households, so any 'unreliablility' lies with them

If you purchase the marriage cert, you will learn whether either of them knew their fathers

And changed it to Emma - after (possibly) her mother
