The Lizzie in 1911 is recorded as Elizabeth in 1901, where her family are living with John James' sister and her husband.

Whilst Lizzie was the only match in 1911, there are a few possibilities for Alfred so the 1916 marriage certificate is definitely needed to get his father's name.

Your request is a bit hard to follow without punctuation. So reading it as dad was Ronald(Charles) Harris born 1942 Plymouth.His dad was Wilfred(Charles) Harris died 1943. You are looking for info on Wilfred's parentage ??

If so you need to buy some certs ie dads birth cert which will give his parents names .Then look for their marriage and get the cert, this will tell you their ages at marriage and the fathers names .if known.
