Do you have the marriage cert ?

Would be useful to know his occupation which might give us a chance to find him on the 1911 census

Samantha, are you getting dates and names mixed up as i have found a birth for Texas Dixon but in 1965 so could not be son of george and mary as they would be in their 80's

plus mothers maiden name is Ledsham so possibly to do with your other thread

Roy

edit; Just seen Choccy's post, that would explain about Texas
