Gave particular problems in researching as two Freereg marriages have him as Bradford or Retford

Problems that still exist are :-
a) Cannot find him or father before marriage
b) Cannot find family in 1891
c) Relationships for these family members in 1911
do not appear to tie up after crossing out and insertions

Any help appreciated

Relationships in 1911 are daughters and should not have been crossed out and noted as sisters

All complete now as cannot find John Radford before marriage
