I have details of his marriage in 1882 and on the census returns for 1891, 1901 and 1911. But I can find nothing prior to his marriage. There are births in both places that could be his but nothing that has convinced me to purchase a birth certificate. On his marriage certificate his father is entered as John Chadwick, Brick maker but I cannot find any trace of him. I have followed a few possibilities but none have come to anything. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
