I'm trying to find the parents of Robert Richard j White born 1900 in St Olave,London.His birth cert is 1d 283. He was married to Alice Ethel George (yob 1904) in 1924. Have looked on 1901 census but cannot validate whether it's the same Robert. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

His marriage cert would also confirm his father's name and occupation and you could check this against the census

There is this one but it is a submitted record but the father has two middle names too. If he was Robert Richard J perhaps the J stands for John.
