	When did he marry ? The certificate should give you his fathers name

This index shows birth as 23.1 1916. Have not found the birth yet. If you do not have a copy of the deathy certificate and you think this one is correct, worth getting copy. Do you have any idea when they married, as a ciopy of the marriage certificate would be more useful as this will give their ages, their Father's names and occupations, and witnesses who may be siblings. Ethel.
