Would appreciate some suggestions on how to get started with this very sparse entry on my tree.
I have a name John Stead but he was known as Jack. I have a marriage in 1937 and I know he died prior to 2007 maybe around 2000 but that's just a guess.
I don't know where he was born or when. He was living in Devon in later life but I can't find a death that could be him in that area.
I suppose I could get the marriage to get the name of his father and try from there but am reluctant to pay for more certs at present having got two wrong ones recently.
He may have been alive in 1911 just not sure. His wife was born Bath 1916 and they married there then I believe lived in London for a time.
Not much to go on I know. The only other thing is his naval status but have googled without success there.
