Ian, Londonbelle posted this yesterday for Harold's marriage:

Marriages Sep 1931

Brenchley Gertrude M Meredith Fulham 1a 1026
Meredith Harold J Brenchley Fulham 1a 1026

I would strongly recommend sending off for the marriage certificate to see what it states about his father. That then gives you a sound basis for tracing his family back over. (Unless you have reason to believe that his father was unknown).

If the father's details are on the cert then you're flying with the info Kucinta has found.

A possibility for Gertrude M Latreille in census 1911? Would be similar age to Harold.

Census 1911:

LATREILLE, Thomas Carter Head Married 16 years M 43 1868 Grocery Clerk Bow London .
LATREILLE, Jessie Florence Wife Married F 40 1871 Woolwich London.

Am worried that Harold is Harold J Meredith on his marriage ref.

The only Harold J Merediths in the right time frame seem to have been born in Wales, so we might be barking up the wrong tree looking for a London family.

Thanks I will send for the marriage cert, at least it will confirm one way or the other,
Carol doesn`t know if any of the family were born outside of London. she said her mother hardly ever talked about family.

In Kucinta's posting - top of this page - there is a "William Wales Meredith" - a clue maybe?

by the way Meredith is a very common name in Wales - forname and surname

I have Roberts father & Mother as George J Latreille & Elizabeth Mitchell b abt 1785
His Grandfather Peter Latreille b abt 1768 Wapping married to Mary Claridge
Not got any further than that
As far as we know they came from London, but who knows!!
