You should be able to find him on some census
Plus the marriage certificate will name his father if known

Hi all, I have hit a brick wall on my tree so I am starting on my mothers tree. Sydney is my mothers grandfather. He was born in Plymouth, England in 1873/74 and died 1942 in Plymouth. He was married to Rosina Mary Shelton, she was born 18 November 1879 and died in 1941 in Plymouth. They were married in Plymouth in 1916. Any info on either of these people would be greatly appreciated, both on their parents and their children. I live in New Zealand so find researching any information from the Plymouth area very difficult.
