Please can anyone help
George Mercer marries Elizabeth Atkins on 4th June 1911 in the parish church of St John the Baptist, Hoxton. He says he is aged 30, a bachelor, occupation porter, current address 17 Canton Terrace, and father Charles Mercer, deceased. The witnesses names haven't prompted anything (Lily and Harry Smith)
As I know his children's names (Alfred, May, William, Harry, Emma), I am fairly certain that I have him in 1939 with his wife and some children, but with a birthdate of 15th August 1878?
I am now stuck, as I cannot confirm an accurate birthdate, and can't find him in any census prior to his marriage, and with a 'soldier father' named Charles.
Any pointers greatly appreciated
