You may have to order the marriage cert, this will give you Percy's age at the time he married and his fathers name.

I wonder about this birth registration.... remember Percy's birth may not have been regitered immediately and therefore could be in the 3rd quarter;

Bev,

I think you will need the marriage certificate to Clara to clarify his fathers name..... often the witnesses were family members and this may also help.
