Philip born 1875 Birmingham married 1894 Birmingham to Ada Mercy Elizabeth Peach who was born 1873 Birmingham. Can someone have a look for them in 1901 and 1911 please? I tried familysearch with no luck.

No wonder I could not find them in England and I guess that Philip Henry preferred being called Henry.

Thanks
