Find Ancestors

Can someone PLEASE help me; I am looking for John W Anderson Birth abt 1873 in Plymouth, Devon, England, could have been born in Brixham, Death 20 Aug 1926 in Whitehaven Cumberland. He married Catherine Doran 24 Oct 1896 in Whitehaven Cumberland. In the 1901 Census he was living at 2 Allinson, Whitehaven, Cumberland, with wife Catherine, with no Children. I am really trying to find his father who I think could also have been called John Anderson. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers Gordon.

Thank you all for all the information you have given me, i am new to this site i am still learning how it all works. Yes i have the marriage cert and it does say fathers name John Anderson and he was a fisherman, sorry for not adding that information.

Cheers Gordon

I know this sounds a stupid question but what's the best place to look for John Andersons Birth Certificate?

Cheers Gordon.
