The marriage certificate of Charles and Mary would hopefully give you her father's name.

No wonder I could not find him in 1911 on FMP!

He is listed as

I have requested a correction - hopefully it will be accepted.

I would suggest that you buy the marriage certificate for Charles and Mary to confirm their father's names to make sure I have got the right census details.

I think I will have to do that, their son Harry married my second cousin Gladys Emily Taylor so I need to know that eveything is correct but I don't doubt for one minute that you have got it right. I will have to see what I can find on Pretona and Natalie families, already had a little bit. Natalie died 1961 London just before her father and I think she had a son. (Have to check this out) I always had Harry down as Henry and that is why I probably couldn't trace his ancestors.
Once again thank you very much for your help
