From a linked thread on MC, Henry declared he was 22 when he married in 1942.

Unless I can't see for looking there is still info from the marriage certificate of Henry H Alexander and Vera Collins 1942 which you have been asked for but haven't given as yet. I know some of it's on the thread but can you give it in one post so it's ALL in one place. Thanks

Please give all details -

Where married and what date
Full names (plus any military details)
Their ages at marriage (not always quite true!)
Their address/es at marriage
Their occupations at marriage
The name of their Fathers and whether deceased or not
Occupations of the Fathers
Names of witnesses

And also the address/es where their children were born

Deborah you say you have searched the address already and it was destroyed during the war , but have you searched it on electoral rolls previous to that?

cant see any births for henry h alexander 1920-21

The address was destroyed during a bombing raid in the war. I searched it already... Henry was born in 1920-21.

I have tried searching under different middle names. His marriage certificate lists his middle name as Harry and I thought it was odd too!

I have contacted the Pioneer Corps this morning, so I'm hoping they might be able to help.

ALEXANDER, HENRY  HERBERT

so vera was born in 1925

if henry's middle name is Herbert this could be his death in kent

what was Henrys fathers Herbert occupation and Henrys age on marriage certificate......what was the 1942 address as it will possibly show on the 1939 register.

From what I have discovered, I'm 99% certain he was Jewish. It might explain the lack of documentation.

Harry! That's what the marriage certificate says.

What does the H stand for in Henry H Alexander?

Rose

Different parents. I ordered that birth certificate too, I was wondering if they were related. But it's not my father's sibling.

What about the Peter born in Islington in 1945?

Rose

Vera was from Lancashire, unfortunately she died in 2003 or thereabouts. Electoral roll shows no info on Henry H.

Henry H Alexander was in the Pioneer Corps in WW2 and was born in 1921.
