Find Ancestors

Looking for a marriage of a Henry Gerrans to a Florence Freeman,probably 1920s,probably in the Holborn/Lambeth area.I can't seem to find it ? They had several children between 1929 & 1942 including Thomas,June,Richard & Violet born in Finsbury.Also a 1939 record-which I can't seem to find either? Any help much appreciated.

Deaths of Henry and Florence, do you have them?...(for idea of ages)

Addresses from Birth Certs. might help with 1939...

THANK YOU everyone for your help.It does look like Henry Thomas & Florence (Freeman) never married as no one seems able to find a record? He'd have been 40 when their first child was born in 1929? She'd have been 36 (ish)? Youngest child born 1942 would make him 53 & her 49,unlikely ?,though not impossible? .
