Trying to trace info on my Gr Gr Grandfather.
I found him on 1911 cencus he is called Harry Norman Evans born 1885 in Woking, Surrey.
But on his marriage cert he is called Henry Norman Evans.
So because of this i'm struggling to find him.
If there is anyone who can help I would be extremely greatful.

Harry is just a nickname for Henry.

Does his marriage cert list his father's name and occupation?

Can't find any Henry Norman Evans births from 1881 to 1889 in Surrey. There is however, a Harry Norman Evans birth record, registered 1st quarter 1881 in Guildford, Surrey

DeeMac

DeeMac Report 1 Aug 2009 14:38

his wed cert says his father is Henry Evans (deceased) General Labourer.
Not very helpful i'm afraid.

Try pasting the details of 1911 census and his marriage cert including witnesses on here. That may give us some extra help trying to find him for you.

I'm assuming wife & child

EVANS HARRY NORMAN M 1885 26 Woolwich London
EVANS ADA BLANCHE F 1887 24 Woolwich London
EVANS HARRY NORMAN KENNETH M 1910 1 Woolwich London



** I have HENRY/HARRY too, totally interchangable and like you say, not very helpful
