Just for info:

Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)
Mitchell Henry Richardson Keighley 9a 567

If you have no more luck, this cert will give you his father's name. It might then be possible to find him in 1911. The name is a bit to common to do otherwise I suspect.

If brummiejan is correct the family is as below in 1901:
1901 England Census
Albert Mitchell Age: 33 Estimated birth year: abt 1868
Relation: Head Spouse's name: Clara Gender: Male Where born: Keighley, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Keighley Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England
Registration district: Keighley Sub-registration district: Keighley
ED, institution, or vessel: 11
Household schedule number: 127
Albert Mitchell 33
Clara Mitchell 32
Henry Mitchell 8
Ada Mitchell 3
Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 4074; Folio: 102; Page: 19.

and in 1911 they had 3 children, with 2 still living, but whether the other one still alive is Ada would require further investigation.
