	Can't even find any census! Did the marriage or the children's births take place after 1911? If you know who he married, purchase the MC which should name his father, and his father's occupation. You can find the reference you need on FreeBMD and order the certificate (£9.25) from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
