Hi,
I have been struggling to find the ancestral line back from Frederick Henry May. I only have an 1939 Register and Marriage Certificate from 1914, but unable to locate his birth certificate.
Federick Henry May DOB on the 1939 Register was 07 Sep 1889.
Frederick married Alice Maria Kelly in 4 August 1914 in Edmonton, Middlesex (Have Certificate). Frederick's age is 23 (1891). Frederick's father on the Marriage certificate is Charles William May (Farmer). Both their address on the marriage certificate as 33 Albert Road, Tottenham, Middlesex. They were married at the Register Office in Edmonton, Middlesex.
In the 1939 Register, Frederick's address was 14 Glenalmond Road, Harrow, HA3 9JY
(Possible sibling of Frederick) A witness on the marriage certificate was Alice Eliza Oakford. Her maiden name is Alice Eliza May who married William John Oakford. Alice's DOB was 18 July 1893 on 1939 Register.
Baptism record of their son, Willam Oakford born 16 Mar 1914 in Edmonton, Baptism 5 April 1914 at St John Stamford Hill. Their address on the baptism record is 33 Albert Road. Motor Bus Cleaner. This is the same address as Frederick Henry May on this marriage certifcate in 1914. Frederick is also a Motor Bus Cleaner. Their address in 1939 was 3 Eckington Road, Tottenham
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer on this.

Have you found him in any of the censuses? If so, where do they say he was born?

Have you looked at Henry Frederick (or Harry Frederick) instead of Frederick Henry?
On my mm and dad's marriage cert, dad's age is 27. This was in 1949 so I would expect his birth date to be about 1922. He was actually born in 1912 and thought the age difference was a bit to much. Mom knew but didn't care anyway!

Hi Leslie, that's my problem. All my sources (marriage certificate and 1839 Register) are just before the 1911 census. I've been searching through freebmd and gro for a birth record especially with a specific DOB on the 1939 register. All indications are they were born in Edmonton or another area of Middlesex.

A witness on the marriage certificate was Alice Eliza Oakford. Her maiden name is Alice Eliza May who married William John Oakford. Alice's DOB was 18 July 1893 on 1939 Register.
You need to verify that this is a sister before you start looking at census records for an Alice and a Frederick together.

I meant the earlier censuses. If he was born around 1889, that gives you the 1891 and 1901 to check for Fredericks with father Charles...
