Find Ancestors

I have managed to find my Gradfather's death cert (James Henry John Kent born in 1914 died in 1982) but it's actually his dads (my great grandfather) I'm struggling with -

Harry Kent born around 1890 (assuming roughly same age as his wife) married Adelaide Wright in 1912 and lived in Surbiton once married but I don't know anything more about him and really struggled to get anything on census records.

Anything that people can assist with would be much appreceated.

You really need the marriage cert for his age and fathers details (if shown) to help you in the search

The marriage cert is the best option. It will give you facts. Making assumptions can be very dangerous

The issue I still have is that I now know that Harry Kent's Dad ws called Henry Kent and both Harry and Henry were Greengrocers but no more details. When Harry got married he lived in the Surbitton area but I'm struggling looking at the census records to be 100% sure that the details I've found are his.

Harry was 26 when he got marred in 1912 so DOB is around 1886.
His wife was 23 when they got married so born around 1889. She I've managed to find details on .

Any I being daft and just failing to join some of the dots on this one?? Any help again would be very welcome.

hello
what address have they given ?
who were the witness's ?

The witnesses were someone called Henry James Kent and Adelaides isn't readable.

Unfortunatelly the marriage cert doesn;t give addresses it's just gives the parish of surbiton for Henry and long ditton for Adelaide.
