If we cant find him on census, you could order the marriage cert that would give his fathers name and occupation;

Hi Pauline,

can't see anything else, best bet would be the marriage certificate. you can order on-line at the general register, will cost £7.00 and take about 1 week.

You'll know for definate the fathers name and his occupation then.

Best regards, Dee xx
