*Archive* Can someone help with a WEST look up please?

[Gary West]

I'm looking to access information on my Grandfathers birth certificate if somone could assist?

His name was William John West
Born 10th January 1901
Location - not 100% but probably Shoreditch (London)

If it helps pin point him,
- His father was John William West
- He married on 27th June 1925

I need to know...........
a) where was he born - address?
b) What was the name of his Mother and any occupation if applicable
c) anything else available that may be of interest

I know he died around 10th May 1961 although this is a stab in the dark because all I know was that he was buried on the 18th May 1961 (and yes both his daughter and son are still alive and neither remember the date their Dad died ) If anyone could help with this date also, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

1901/11 census might show something

1901/11 census might show something

So far, I've been surviving on the Free census - 1881 from home and 1901 from the local library and I don't believe 1911 is available free just yet is it. Although he was born very early in 1901 I drew a blank when I did research him on the 1901 census.
