Find Ancestors

Trying to find anything about George Martin b c1860 who married Kathleen Barber. They had a son Reginald b c1886 who was a chef at Westminster Hospital around 1920. He emigrated to Canada. Does anyone know of this family? I would think they were all from London.

If you obtain the marriage certificate, you will learn the names of each of their fathers.

Are you sure of the wife's forename?

I can't see a marriage between George Martin and Kathleen Barber.

Have you looked for/found the son's birth registration?

Can not see a George & Kathleen on any census records.

There are several possible birth registrations for Reginald...

Did he have a middle name ?

Hey guys
Thank you all, you have been busy.
it does seem like Anna Kate is the Kathleen Barber and the birth year is about right also Reginald's birth all seem to fit together.
Unfortunatley i do not know if he had a middle name.
Great work, thanks again
