If you buy his marriage cert to Susan you would have his fathers name and occupation and from that you could work back through the census info and further certs. Do you have the exact date of marriage? At the moment I cant see any Twin(n)/Buckl(e)y marriage at all. Where did you get your basic info from? A birth cert?

Sara, Pam has kindly found the ref for you as above - now you can order that certificate from gro online for £7 - this is the address you order it from, tick that you have the GRO reference and then use the details above to buy it.

Sara Report 14 May 2008 23:00

will it have the parents names on the marriage certificates please x

Heather

Heather Report 14 May 2008 23:09

It will have both the fathers names and occupations Sara. From that you can look for Henry (Harry is often a nickname for Henry) in the census info as a child with his parents. It will also have where he was living when they married, what his job was, and also you will have the names of the witnesses which may help when you trace him in the census (if they are a sibling or a parent for instance). Unfortunately its not likely to give you his age - at that age it probably just says "of full age" meaning over 21. But you may be lucky, who knows.
