Find Ancestors

Hi All
The subject was born 1866 Brompton, Middlesex, died 1931 Middlesex.
Married Marian Holloway b.1869 Shoreditch, Middlesex died 1895.
He also could of married 2 years later to a Annie Louisa Daniels on the 5 Dec 1897.
I am trying to find his father, I have a Charles Edward Towgood, name only on my own tree as son to Edward Towgood 1831 Awliscombe, Devon, England, died 1882 Kensington, Middlesex, England, a note I have say's he was a Carman in 1881 and a note that mentions the word Grocery ?
I am not a member of Ancestry.com but I can see that it shows the subjects father as Towgood b.1831 Mother b. 1824. This could be my Edward 1831 who did marry Katherine Ellen Cooper 14 Feb 1865 Brompton, Middlesex, England.
Just need help proving the connection.
Thanks

Craig
