Do you have his father's name from the marriage?

Hi Heywood
Thank you for the probate information. Helena Dolli was Francis's daughter. I don't have any information at all about the marriage other than the BMD details. Thank you for the link on the familysearch site. I didn't think to look on there 
Regards Lyn

Sadly, I don't think that is him. The marriage has Frank Curran, clerk as his father.

I had thought it very possible as his daughter was Helen and mum possibly, Ellen.

I don't think it's the right record Haywood, but thank you for looking for me.  Francis married Rosina Elizabeth Pratt, marriage registered Sept qtr 1911 Chelsea. Once again I don't have access to view the marriage record. There were 2 children from the marriage, Helena and a son Francis William b 1912 died 1929 both events registered Fulham London.
Regards Lyn.

Hi again Heywood. Thank you very much for those marriage details. Francis was living at Edith Grove at the time of the 1911 census, and he was boarding with the Dow family. Rosina was in domestic service at the same time at  9 Rowland Gardens Kensington. Well at least we now know the names of both parties Fathers'. I think Rosina is shown on the 1901 census
