Can you tell us what the 1911 says.  We cannot look it up for you but you can give us information that would help locate him earlier.  Does he have a wife - children etc

This marriage is possible - maybe the Mrs W means Mrs William

June qtr 1903   
Ling    Mary Ann       
Quy    Ada Susan       
Whitaker    William Henry       
Romford    4a   710

Possibly Ada Susan Quy as daughter has Ada as name  :-\ She married Alfred White
I can't see birth registrations for the first two children in Romford RD though.

Getting his Birth Cert would reveal his parent(s) name(s) & might help find him in 1891/1901 census ...

Where does his date of birth come from  :-\

Could well be using a step fathers surname in 1891 - his mother's name from the Birth Cert may help pin him down ....

I agree with Lostris the birth certificate is probably the best idea  :)

How long does it say they have been married?
