Frank Croxall was married to May Werrett, daughter of George Werrett. They had 4 children all Croxalls one being my Grandad Wilfred.

I've found this info below on Frank but can't seem to find his parents:

I’ve been trying to see if I can find other info. on your Frank Croxall who married May but he’s proving difficult  ??? other than his marriage/death & 1939 register entry

May WERRETT bn c1892 Nantyglo, Monmouthshire, Wales parents George & Mary Ann living in the parish of Brynmawr district  Breconshire Wales 1901/1911

Frank CROXALL married May WERRETT in Dec Qtr. 1911 Llanelly
The district Llanelly spans the boundaries of the counties of Carmarthenshire and Glamorgan

As previously asked do you have their marriage certificate? If so,

How old is Frank?
What was his occupation?
Is there a father’s name for Frank or has it been left blank?
Who witnessed their marriage?


Given that Frank Croxall & May married in Wales 1911 Dec qtr. and 1911 census was taken night of 2nd April –  Frank could be in Wales

A slim possibility perhaps for Frank CROXALL born c 1884 living in Wales, although birth year is out and surname CROXWELL  :-\ his pob Hall, Yorkshire England c1887, but wondering if pob should be Hull Yorkshire  :-\

I’m not seeing a Frank/Francis Croxall/well on 1891/1901 census born in Yorkshire c1884/87
or
a matching birth entry on FreeBMD, Yorkshire BMD  or GRO indexes to try and help locate possible parents names  ???

At the moment all I can suggest is if you don't have his marriage certificate it might be worth obtaining to see if there is a father's name listed for Frank and then hopefully you can move on from there

and from family search we have
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7B7-BH9
Frank CROSS born c1884 Redditch wife Lilian living in Redditch Worcestershire

married Dec 1907 Bromsgrove Frank CROSS to Mary L(ilian) MALINS

I think the above Frank CROSS/CROXALL is probably the illegitimate son of Maria CROXALL who married John Charles CROSS and it's his birth registered 1884 surname Croxall mother’s maiden name blank on GRO indexes
See reply # 14 for 1891 census & birth details
