I have been trying ot find out about my grandfather, James J (beleived to be John) Vincent. He was born on 25th August 1897 and married on 11th July 1931 to Elsie Selina May Barnes. These detsails came from my late grandmother.
This is all this information I have. I do not know where he was born and can find no trace on either the 1901 census nor the 1911 census. I can not find find a birth on BMD either! I am at a loss.
Can anyone help or suggest where else I can look?
Yours in anticipation
Jacqui

The marriage. A copy of the cert would confirm his age and fathers name/occupation if known.

Have you got the actual marriage cert, This should name his father if known so help to place him on the 1901/11 census

The marriage certificate would hopefully show his father's name and occupation which might help to find the family in census.

James Vincent is a common name - there are 14 on 1901 census with date of birth 1897 +/- 1 year. Without the info from marriage cert, you cannot find the correct one.

The soldier posted by Lindsey was a printer.
His next of kin is shown as his mother Emily Vincent ..Houghton married again..... She lived in 76 Huddleston Road,London.

Not quite sure how to read that bit !

OMG - That is him.
My gran told me that he was a printer and that his mother was Emily Vincent nee Lacock, and yes she married again to a Houghton! But I could never confirm these detisals as Gran didn't like to talk about it too much.
How can I look at these records please?
I have shivers running up and down my spine now!!
Thank you so much.
