I cannot find the birth reg for their son, Henry George Knapton. Probably looked at it more than once.Would appreciate if another set of eyes could look.

I have Emma Elizabeth Washington marrying in 1902 Paddington, to either Henry George Knapton or John Kidd Peyton.Emma was born 1864 Bristol. Her wedding is registered Paddington. Would someone be kind enough to do a 1911 census lookup to see which husband is Emma'?

many thanks
