Harry's wedding cert to Stella states he was a Home Decorator (journeyman) the address was 29 Bensham Manor Road, Thornton Heath.
Witnesses on cert say E.Davies and D.Reynolds

@ Batmansdaughter.....
Many thanks for your reply......there is very little on Harry sadly (as i would have loved to know more on my grandfather)
All i have is: birth cert born 28th Feb 1897, parents Mary (formally Allen) and George.
Death cert, died 18th March 1966.

I also have the wedding cert to my grandmother.....this proved difficult as they were married on the 18th Aughust 1945. It states my grandfather was a widower but unable to track a first marriage for him. I found 1 marriage and ordered cert this was to a Norah Alice on August the 6th 1922 in Penge, Kent but i don't believe this is him.

I was given 2 war medals also the Victory Medal and British War medal ....nim not sure if these belong to Harry Burt or Harry's father George.

Unfortunately i statred this tree with my father who has since passed away so very little info on Harry (Harry died when my father was a child).

Jessie married Frederick Edmunds, no part of your ancestors..... If her name could be spelt differently they often did that.

This is George jnr,

Has Harry ever been found on the 1911 census? I see George and Isabel with their Grandmother Allen, Albert is with his father so it's just Nellie and Harry that I can't find and wondered if they were together?

This looks like Marys death,

The 1911 census asks the Question ''How long have you been married'' and the answers were recorded, in this case 3 years

Thank you for your replies.....this has confused me somewhat?
George (1866) born married Mary Ann Allen in 1886 and they had children
Nelly -1889
George -1891
Isabel - 1896
Harry - 1897 (my grandfather)
Albert - 1898

It does state on his wedding banns to Mary Allen that he was a Carman (as stated above) but i have not come across the above names any of the other names listed??

Please can you advise how you knew they were only married for 3 years.

Many thanks in advance x

If Margee's 1911 family is correct then the family lived in Willesden according to electoral rolls, so this maybe George's death,

Could this be him in 1911 with a second wife? They've only been married 3 years.

What is the last census or other record that you've found him on?

Can anyone help me find the death record for my great grandfather. He was born in 1867 in St Pancras, London.
He was married to Mary Allen on the 26 Sept 1886. His parents were William G Burt (1835-1881) and Isabella Burt (1837-1916)
Any info would be great xx
