Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to find some family details for a Harry Leach.

Not having any luck so far finding family details for a Harry Leach he married Florence Gertrude Lee in 1912 The Register Office Nottingham, England.
On the marriage cert Harry's age is given as 26 years so born abt 1886 ( I don't know place of birth ) occ on marriage cert he was working as a Canal Boatman living at 39 Island Street, Nottingham also grooms father's name is given as Harry Leach occ Railway Drayman (deceased)
Several family trees on Ancestry give Harry's father as James Albert Leach could this be Harry Leach?
I have not found any other bmd notes or census records to match up with wedding cert data.

Could it be that all the family trees on Ancestry have got it wrong?

hi ian
let me know if you need anymore help as i have baptism marriages and burials discs for nottinghamshire

Census details i.e. Father's name/occupation would suggest the correct Harry, so born 1883/4 (and a little fib on the marriage certificate?)

So this is probably his birth registration as Henry, which would make him correct age on census
