were any of the witnesses on the marriage his family?

we can discount all the service records
one has father robert ,one has mother sarah ,not marriied and the other is married to a jane hall

this one was in the
4th battalion yorks reg
mother sarah
age on enlistment on 22/7/1918
27yrs and 9 months
height 5ft 6 and a half inches
chest i think said 27 inches,prob wrong.

he was a casualty at some time but i cant read it all as a lot of the papers are burnt ,ripped and smudged.

Name: John Jacques
Age: 27
Birth Year: abt 1891
Residence : The Grange, Holtby Yorks
Regiment Number: 37877
Document Year: 1918
Number of Images: 18

this one may not be him,but its the most likely out of the surviving service records
no pension records on him,so maybe they didnt survive.
will have a look at census next.

edit::you stoopid woman vivienne ,that cant be him as he married in 1917 and this one says hes not married.
back to the drawing board

There's this family on the 1901

Name Age
John Jacques 32
Clara Jacques 34
Cyril Jacques 4
John Henry Jacques 2
Harry Jacques 9 months

Dad's a colliery engine driver and they're living in Nottingham

Vivianne
Just did a quick google and I have found
Bombardier (Bdr) and Lance-Bombardier (LBdr or L/Bdr) are used by the British Army in the Royal Artillery and Royal Horse Artillery The rank was equivalent to Second Corporal in the Royal Engineers and Army Ordnance Corps

then you cant check for his ww1 army records.
I think they have them on find my past as well ,but its pay per view or subs.
the list i have given are all the right age for him.
but i need to look at the images to see if any were invalided out.
and then ill search ww1 pension records for him
IF his records survived the blitz!

Vivienne - no subs to Ancestry!
Don't understand what your list is asking me what or where to check on !

not very up on army
whats ,,bombadier,
is it a rank?

ww1 service records
have you got subs to ancestry?

OK Then we have a scout round yorkshire
but his fathers occupation ,if you have it ,would help a bit

edit ::crossed in the post ,so no occupation
vivienne

Viv no just deceased

Vivian (I won't attempt the rest) I agree but the 'old ones' of the family state that they think he was born in YORKSHIRE!! where he was a miner and they say got mustard gased in the great war

Does it say what john jacques [deceased]occupation is please?

Thanks Londonbelle but got marriage cert its his birth I am looking for

this birth looks right time for the john henry age 25 on marriage to lilian street

Births Dec 1891 (>99%)
Jacques John Henry Shoreditch 1c 55

Marriage of John & Lilian
Marriages Jun 1917
Jacques John H Street Farnham 2a 267
Street Lilian Jacques Farnham 2a 267

Pete
He states age 25 a Bombadier residence as Froome Somerset on the marriage cert his fathers name was John Jacques (Deceased)

If you have the marriage certificate for John Henry JACQUES and Lilian STREET you should have his age at time of marriage and also his father's name.

With this information it should be possible to search the census

On my dads birth cert (born 1-2-1925) his father is listed as John Henry Jacques with his mother asLilian Street his fathers occupation 'Builders Labourer' address 2 Chase Villas Portsmouth Road Bramshott in Petersfield County of Southampton.
I have his marriage cert but cannot find any entry of birth so dont know where to look in any census!!! CAN ANYONE HELP??
