I am trying to trace my great-grandfather and have got stuck. The first record I can find of him is his marriage to Mary Ann Osborne in Cambridge, UK, in 1911, followed by his military record in 1916. On both of these documents he is listed as Joseph Livermore, although I also have a paper clipping from later in his life where he is Joseph F Livermore.
From his ages on his marriage certificate, military record and gravestone, his birthdate should be between May and June 1889. I believe he came from Essex and his father's name, from his marriage certificate, was definitely John Livermore.
I can't find a birth record or any record of him on the 1891, 1901 or 1911 censuses. There were a lot of Livermore families who were travellers in the Essex area and I was wondering if he could be from a travelling family, although I have nothing to substantiate this other than the lack of records.
Can anyone give me some tips on how I can trace him please?
Joseph is living in Fulbourn, Cambridge when he married. His father is John Livermore (deceased), Labourer. The family in Tilbury could be him, but the birthdate is a year out.
