Perhaps this birth as you say her name was Elizabeth Grace.
Although the marriage has her as only Grace (not unusual to miss a forename).

This is where the marriage certificate would come in useful for ages and fathers names

Using the same site you can find Grace's birth (which MAY give an idea of William's age, but not necessarily. She was born in Northampton as well as marrying there.

The marriage certificate would confirm the ages of William and Grace and should also give the names and occupations of both father's to help track them down.

Do you have the marriage certificate please? That would tell you William's age and father's name and occupation.

I am trying to trace my dad's Dad - William Frith (My dad who is now deceased)

Can you help?

All I have is that he was married to Elizabeth Grace Singlehurst in 1927 had 3 children and then the marriage broke down.

I would love to know who he was and about his life, for my dad's sake he never knew.

I'm sure he went on to another life & he was very happy.
