i cant understand how people can find information so easily, im just drawing a blank. i cant find a definate place of birth or date of birth for leonard allen, i know he married hilda wilson in hull 1920. i believe he was born in east ham 1898 not positive though. if this is so i think i found his family in 1901 census father walter allen 1871. how do i know if info correct. it says walters place of birth was east harptree but i cant find anything on him before 1901.

You need to find and buy the marriage cert which should have parent details.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

1st off you'll need Leonard & Hilda's marriage certificate..It will give you their ages, dads names & dads occupation, otherwise everything else you find will be a might be..as in it might be him the one you found on the 1901

You can look for Births, Marriages & Deaths on this site for free, but it will only give you the reference numbers you need to buy the certs

Here's your Walter in 1891. He was a grocers assistant. The marriage certificate should have this on it if he's the right man. Or in 1901 he's a commercial traveller.
