As both 1901 and 1911 say his birthplace was Brentford, that may be more likely to be correct(ish) than Wigton.

Do you have the marriage cert?
What was his father's name?

Robert

Robert Report 9 Jun 2021 17:58

Iv got the marriage details hoping to purchase them tomorrow so hope to get his farthest name to help
And thanks for looking and the advice any mor clues would be much appreciated

Thanks Rob :-)

There's this one , but age slightly out - I can't see his parents, or him definitely in any census other than 1881.

And your John doesn't have any middle names stated at marriage, death (1919) , or in 1891, 1901, or 1911 - so this is probably a red herring:


ANDERSON, JOHN JAMES THOMAS mmn REYNOLDS
GRO Reference: 1869 J Quarter in BRENTFORD Volume 03A Page 41


John Jas.Thos. Anderson
in the 1881 England Census
Name: John Jas.Thos. Anderson
Age: 12
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869
Relationship to Head: Inmate
Gender: Male
Where born: Brentford, Middlesex, England
Civil Parish: Feltham
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England
Street Address: "Middlesex County Industrial School" Feltham
Education:
Employment status:

Occupation: Detained Under Industrial Schools Act
Registration District: Staines
ED, institution, or vessel: Middlesex County Industrial School
Neighbors:
Piece: 1327

This would seem the most obvious marriage of parents - but they DON'T have a son John born in the 1860s:

John Anderson
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1837-1915
Name: John Anderson
Registration Year: 1852
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration District: Brentford
Inferred County: Middlesex
Volume: 3a
Page: 84
Records on Page:
Name
John Anderson
Sarah Reynolds


This is that couple in 1871 - so NOT the family of John James Thomas:


John Anderson

There were several John Andersons with no middle names born in other parts of London 1864-66. It's a very common name.
