I know the fathers name as I have one of the children birth certs. I can not find the marriage so would like to see the 1871 to work out roughly when he was born. Shelli

I paid a researcher to view the 1861 and 1871 for the Central London area. It only cost about £35 Cheaper than petrol and hotel bills. Margaret
