My great grandfather was William Henry Harrop. I have a marriage certificate for him that reads
The Parish church of St Stephen, Salford, Manchester.
June 4th 1906 William Henry Harrop 20 profession Printer 10 Rosamond Street. Father William greengrocer.
He married Annie Charnley. I have a lot of information on Annie but cant find anything on William Henry. He died in WW1 July 1916. Any help please.

Here is his birth registration...

Name: William Henry Harrop
Year of Registration: 1886
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Manchester (1837-1924)
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8d
Page: 276

I am completely stumped with the census, I can't find him in 1891 or 1901. You may need to get his birth certificate to find his mothers name.

Who were the witnesses on the marriage cert, any possible brothers or sisters?

I sent for the birth certificate for the William Henry 1886 and it came back with fathers name James. So not right one.

There is only one birth;

which should be;

He is a painter not a printer.

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1884
Year of Registration: 1919
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 35
District: Salford
County: Greater Manchester, Lancashire
