Just confirming the name. Wouldn't have fancied being a dock labourer with a name like that!

Yes, you are right about the name !!!!
We thought Florence might be the father and were trying to find him with his parents to give us siblings.Should we be looking in Irish records ?

The marriage certificate above will give you his Father's name and occupation. I have tried family search and the Beta and Pilot sites but I can't find their baptisms unfortunately and the marriage isn't listed on the London Marriages and Banns which would have given us the information.

Thank you so much for all your help,much appreciated . Will order the certificate and perhaps be able to go further with the family when we get that info in our hands.
Cheers Eric.
