Our John would have been 26 at the time of the 1901 census, I think I have found him, a private in the army. We don't know what happened to him after that, but we do know that he join the army around that time. It looks like our John is not the same as yours. If you have managed to find the marriage certificate it will have his fathers name. Our John's father is William, William died in 1880, they both worked in the Stone Quarries in Box Wiltshire, so similar work. If you do find that William is John's father I would be very interested to hear from you again. Did you know you can look at the indexing that is in London for birth marriages and deaths (Scanned copies of the indexing pages), on the internet now. Its called 1837.com thats 1837-2002 it costs .10p to look at a page but you can save it, or Freebmd 1837-1902 which is free not all are on this one yet but doing great. Good luck in your hunt. Irene
