Can you please list all the information on the marriage certificate that you have.

Henry's full name is rather long, which might not suit the format of earlier records, ie census, that you have accessed.

About the marriage certificate -

Are you looking at an image of a handwritten document....or...a typed transcription?

What names do you see for the witnesses....each one.......what does "butch"....mean.

Thats part of my issue when I look for him as Henry Albert Holland Hitchens ,I can only find the hole name in New Zealand nothing in England and nothing I have tells me that Eliza and Henry are his parents its only from word of mouth or because other have used it. I wont to be able to document what I state so I know I have the right person.
