As Gwyn said, witnesses might help.

Who were the witnesses and what was Fred's address on the marriage certificate?

Who were the witnesses to the marriage?

Sometimes they help to find the correct family.Often one has to go 2 or 3 steps back in order to take one forward.

Finding it really strange I can't find his birth details!! Can records go missing or births not recorded? I did wonder if his parents where not married and was born under mothers maiden name?

Hi,
Got my Nan and Grandads wedding certificate today. Has his dad down as, George Revell? I don't know if this can help in tracing where he was from and who his family was?

He was born on 9th may 1912 so not sure if that other family is his? Plus has him being down as born 1906. My Mum only recalls that he might have had a sister but knew nothing else about him ??. I guess i will need to wait for certificate to come through.
Cheers fir your help ??

Seems to be a little confusion over his birth on the 1939 register:

Looks like it was 29 October, but this is then written over as 9 May- I think they mistakenly entered Ethel's DOB first.

'Albany' Egbert Gardens, Chelmsford Road , Chelmsford R.D., Essex,

Revell Frederick married 9 May 1912 Temporary Bargeman
Revell Ethel V married 29 Oct 1916 Domestic Duties Unpaid
One closed record

The Marriage Cert. will help with name of Father (if known!), address at time, witness names etc. If you post details here when it arrives, hopefully things will move!...

Hi,
Thanks for your help so far. Unfortunately I don't know his parents names. His a bit of a mystery man. I'm not sure he may have runaway from home on the barges. I've ordered a marriage certificate but I'm not sure if there will be much information on there.
