What info are you looking for Jackie? Do you have any other info at all?

Here is a possible marriage - although not sure of this one because of the extra initial.

I have been trying to find a death for him but unless he died in 1915 in West Bromwich for some reason I am wondering if he died in the war or emigrated.

Perhaps the only way I will know if this is my relative is to get a copy of the marriage certificate and see if I recognise the witnesses.

This is his birth:
Births Sep 1900
Thompson Horace Andrew W. Ham 4a 396
and this could be the birth of the Horace who marries in 1928:
Births Jun 1905
Thompson Horace Arthur R Edmonton 3a 596

Certificates are the way to go.

Do death certificates have names of relatives on them?
