Who does the certificate name as his father, and his father’s occupation?
Have you identified who the witnesses were?

Civil registration didn’t start until 1837. It wasn’t compulsory to register a birth until 1873. It’s possible that his wasn’t.

What was John's stated age at marriage? [ EDIT: found it - 28 ]

And just to verify - I'm assuming his occupation is shoemaker at marriage?

[ EDIT: No, it says he was a labourer.]

I'd like suggestions re finding birth record of my g-grandfather, John Henry White. He married my g-grandmother, Caroline Hayes, in St Marys Anglican Church, Highworth, Wiltshire, in 1881. I purchased the marriage certificate but, unlike Australian certificates, only the fathers' names are recorded. A daughter Mabel, was born in 1883 and shortly after the family emmigrated to Australia.

The 1871 UK Census lists a John Henry white, Boot & Shoe Trade, aged 19, boarding at 28 Hows Street, Haggerton West, with William & Sarah White and their children. Also shown as a boarder is Henry White, Scholar, aged 10. Perhaps William is John Henry's uncle?

The 1881 UK Census - John Henry White, Shoemaker, aged 26 is boarding at 7 Queen Hill Cottages, Circenester - gives information that he was born at Middlesex, London.

John Henry died in Bendigo, Victoria, in 1926 - his parents' names are not listed on the death registration. Caroline had died in 1920 - perhaps there was no-one who knew the names of his parents.

I have found nothing which gives his date of birth, not even the Quarter, and have no idea of his mother's name. The marriage registration gives his father as John White, Sailor.

I'd appreciate any tips on finding which John White might be my g-g-grandfather and/or the name of my g-g-grandmama. I'm quite spoilt for choice.

Thank you in advance.
