As I said on your other thread, if you get his marriage certificate it will tell you his father's name and occupation, and the reference you need for it is on your other thread. Kate.

Is this his marriage? Name: Willson, Charles Octavius marrying Gabb, Caroline Georgiana Record Type: Marriages Quarter: September Year: 1900 District: Richmond Sry County: Surrey Volume: 2a Page: 842 If so, here he is in 1901 census with his wife, ancestry have the surnamed mistranscribed but if you look at the original it definately says Willson 1901 Census RG13/427 Folio 49 Page 30 94 Brixton ….., Lambeth, London Charles O Weller, Head, b. abt 1875 London, England Caroline G Weller, Wife, b. abt 1876 Lambeth, London Sarah A Adams, Servant, b. abt 1881 Battersea, London Judith J Austen, Servant, b. abt 1852 Maidstone, Kent George H Deacon, Servant, b. abt 1868 Lewes, Sussex Ellen E Hecks, Servant, b. abt 1878 Brixton, Surrey Darry E A Richardson, Servant, b. abt 1881 Maidstone, Kent, Edith M Wells, Servant, b. abt 1882 Clapham, London, England Marion Westwood, Servant, b. abt 1880 Chelmsford, Essex
