If he was born in 1891, he would have been too young to have a son marry in 1925.

Is it his father's death that you are looking for?

Mike * Report 12 Jun 2010 23:42

The person whose birth cert you have 1891 must be the one who married in 1925.
Who's death are you after, his or his father's ?

Debbie, it looks like he may have been born outside England as there are no James Alexander King listed in 1855.
Where have you got that date from ?

Do you know if he lived in the same area all his life?

This one would fit with a birth year of 1854, but the person who registered his death may not have given his correct age and there are quite a few James Kings listed.......
