I am looking for the residents of 26 Scott Street, Victoria Docks, West Ham, Essex in the 1911 census. I have a marriage of Ellen Smith in April 1912 from this address.
Ellen married William Phillips of 30 Brunel Street and her father was William John Smith ( living at time of daughters marriage and witness)
Ellen was 21 on marriage cert ( 7th April 1912) so born about 1891.
Scott Street does not exist on 1939 register.
Thanks

Does the marriage cert give William John's occupation?

Ellen's Father William John Smith was a General Labourer on her 1912 marriage cert so not much help.
Thanks for the 1911 info, so convinced you have found the right family.
