trying to find information on my great grandfather John Perry. He was born around 1864 in Chapeltown, he married Hannah Mary Fisher (nee Stevens) in 1904 in Barnsley. His fathers name is Michael. Any info would be great.

@@@ so for get the william fisher born 1873 don.t know why that was showing up on the household in the first place lol @@@@

plus she is already useing john surname but is the same people as the name match the names of the 1911 census but frank livesley fisher is missing from 1901 census with them as hes with his dead fathers familey & at some point between the 1901 & 1911 census he returned to live with hannah & step dad john

Thanks - witnesses on the marriage certificate are Frederick Dent and Mary E Walker.

I am in contact with two other people who are part of the family and they are stuck on John - they think his dad Michael could have come from Ireland but no one knows for sure.

Birth registration was not compulsory until 1875, so you may not be able to get a birth cert for him
