Find Ancestors

In our tree we have William Worrall down as my wife's grandfather's dad. But at the time of John Sidney's birth (1908) Annie Worrall (nee Garner), his mother moved in with a John Edwin Harrison in Manchester and I am now tracking him as he may be the father. In fact John Sidney was brought up as a Harrison but the name was not changed legally, But I am stuck on John Edwin Harrison and need to know his parents. I have purchsed his marriage certificate to Annie Worrall Jan 13 1913 when he was 34 and a packer but I cant find him for certain in the 1881 and 1891 and 1901 census though he appears in 1911 with Annie and her children.

Any help would be much appreciated

Is there a father's name given for him on the marriage cert?

Christine

If he gave his correct age on the marriage certificate, this COULD be him?

Yes Choccy that is the family - notice how they are all called Harrison but apart from John Sidney they all marry as Worralls and even his death certificate read John Sidney Worrall " known as Harrison" causing much distress at his funeral

If you buy his birth certificate you will have his parents names and his father's occupation making it easier to identify the correct John on earlier census records.

harold:
so on marriage cert it say's father's name is john harrison - what about father's occupation?

Any addresses on the marriage cert please, and details of the witnesses ?

Dea x

Fathers occupation is "packer".

The address is 48 Cambridge St, Manchester but they are already living together - see above 1911 Census.

Witnesses are John Alcined(?) and Margaret Bradbury
