What research have you had done that disproved he was born in Leicester?
Thanks

We went to Leics.gov.uk. They said they couldn't find him with a father Albert as the marriage cert. indicates.
We don't know where to go from here.
Thanks Beryl

He could have lied about his Father's name.
We have not found a census with Father and son on it - no censuses posted with Henry Francis on before his marriage (with or without a Father)
Was he illegitimate and inventing the father?

We do have that certificate but the father is Joseph and he is a Tailor. Henry was in the boot trade.
