Can I be a bit cheeky as you are so good at this?  We have been looking for a few days for a George Albert Finnis who died in 1960 and is buried in Biddenden, Kent.  He was married to a Dorothy Payne.  Unfortunately that is all we know!!!

Does this ring any bells!!!!!

Probable parents marriage.

Philip C Finnis / Constance Dewhurst
Sept 1916 / Edmonton
Vol No: 3a / Page No: 1174

He won't show up on a Census because he was born after 1911.  You need to know who his parents are.  I will check 1901 Census for his parents

Oooh!  That looks promising.  I looked on Google maps as we thought George was from Bermondsey.  Turns out Edmonton is just up the road.  Looks good

Hi
I am researching my family tree and I was delighted to come across your post on this web-site. You were asking about details for Frederick Hobbs... As you will have found out, he is the oldest brother with seven other sibblings. My grandmother was his youngest sister, Bessie Hobbs, born 17.08.1904 and she married William Jack Andrews on 14.04.1928. I would love to get in touch and and share a bit more information about the family and Bessie's daughter, my Mum, would be thrilled beyond description :)
Best wishes,
Andy
