Hi Brian .
If you get Williams marriage cert it will hopefully have his fathers name and occupation. Then you can look for them on the 1901 census

Here's the marriage registration


Marriages Mar 1915 (>99%)

Mynott Florence S Walker Poplar 1c 706
Walker William Mynott Poplar 1c 706


Go to www.gro.gov.uk, click on Obtaining Certificates Online in the box to the right of the screen, follow instructions.

It will ask for the GRO reference number ...... that's the 1c 706

Each certificate will cost £7
