Hi, i have recently received a marriage cert for my great great grandad Edward Foster Bates abt1877, on it his father James William Bates is a Hotel Proprieter however, i am not able to find a solid lead in any uk census, i do not have full access on ancestry.co.uk only uk access, so i dont actually now if they went over or are even from there. Edward lived in the uk from 1901 onwards defo, his marriage was in Leyton, essex uk 1905.
I do not have anymore info on the father other than his name and occupation, if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated, or if anyone else has the same problem and they sound familiar i would love to hear from you.
Many thanks
Lorraine
