Could you post the 1855 Webster/Broxton marriage, please?

Added:
What country, please?

Added:
Do you mean Randolph married in 1895, or was born in 1895?
Thanks

Added:
Randolph was born in 1895, married in 1918.
So presumably the rest are birth years?

The marriage I posted was the CORRECT one for Randolph's parents..........look at the data on the 1911 census

If you don't believe me, spend £9.25 on his birth cert

The man who married Broxton - in Shropshire - was Samuel George..........NOT Sam

Have you got Randolph's marriage certificate for the name of his Father?
This one?
Marriages Mar 1918
Webster Randolph Cowling Ecclesall B 9c 644

and also his birth certificate for the names of both parents, just to make sure you have the correct family?
Births Sep 1895
Webster Randolph Ecclesall B. 9c 360

I totally agree that nothing is 100% certain, that is why we have to work back using the birth, marriage and death certificates, and then also the censuses.

The certificates also give other information - ages, occupations, informants, witnesses, addresses, to bring meaning to what you have found elsewhere.
