Thank you so much all of you for all your wonderful help, im sure there is lots there that will realy help me , Thank you again for all your hard work, Chris as well for all that you found finding the Duffins for me. Still looking for his birth? I have the death certificate he was my Great Grandfather. Chris he ran off with my grandmother and left Catherine thats why she married again when he died . good job he did otherwise i would'nt be here.! I think that the Duffin that you found Chris ,could well be his father. Sorry folks that i have taken so long to of come back to you all as i have had visitors yesterday. Thank you thank you all Bren

Nothing positive showing amongst the census records.

Who were the witnesses at the marriage?

Where did you discover his approximate birth year, from the marriage certificate or from the registration of his death?

Marriage would give a birth year c1870

Death would give a birth year c1873:

Name: Henry Duffin
Birth Date: abt 1873
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1916
Age at Death: 43

Hve you tried FreeBMD? born 1873 he may not have been registered as it wasnt compulsary till 1875.

Have you looked for the family on any census? the 1881 is free to search on Family Search site
