Title: James William Martin please
Post by: EdCan on Friday 16 February 18 20:09 GMT (UK)

I am having a hard time trying to trace him. He married Martha Edmonds 1905 in Guildford. Supposedly born abt 1878 and his father was shown as James Martin - nurseryman. I can not find them in 1911 nor can I find him prior to marriage.

Could be. When he married he stated that he was living in Horsham which I believe is in Sussex

Thanks
