62 results on the 1921 census
99 in 1939 but 13 of those were not Marigold's at the time ie married after 1939 and became Marigold

Try googling for more info about the surname

I assume your niece's fiancé has his death details:

MARIGOLD, VICTOR KEITH B 1926
GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2015 in ESSEX (463-1A) Entry Number 512566108

MMN not on GRO as the birth was less than 100 years ago.

Mistranscribed 1921 for the Marigolds - have submitted a correction.

On the original, the entry is written as ditto for Marigold surname and then W Elsie.
At a later date Jessie Elsie Whitaker has been written in. These names would go with the first name and initials on the marriage record.

The transcript makes no note of a closed record, but there is a redacted line on the original - presumably Victor.

His 1926 birth registration is on freebmd, easily found and shows mmn

His 1957 marriage also shows on freebmd

Marriage of his parents shows in the same RD as his birth in 1922

MMN not listed on GRO

MARIGOLD, VICTOR KEITH BRYAN
GRO Reference: 1926 D Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 517

Im on Freebmd at the mo, not having a lot of luck, but i will try and keep looking. Thank you

He isn’t an open record in 1939, which isn't a census. It is a REGISTER, with different criteria from censuses.

You can do so much yourself………..worth having a go

Use freebmd…….it’s EASY

That’s all anyone on here would do

My niece has just got married to his grandson ,but he doesnt know much about him or whether his surname is common, and his father has passed. I offered to help him on here, with the help of you wonderful people. Ive added him to my family tree hoping I could find out anything

His parents can be determined by looking at his birth and looking for their marriage

How did you find his exact DoB?

Hi Im looking for Victor Keith Bryan Marigold b.13/09/ 1926, can anybody find him on the 1939 Census for me please? I have no access to this census. Many thanks I am also trying to find out who is parents are . Many Thanks
