I think the death that Griity posted for Hubert is the correct one. (Born 1893)

Lizzie King in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name:Lizzie King
Birth Date:6 Feb 1896
Date of Registration:Mar 1976
Age at Death:80
Registration district:Basford
Inferred County:Nottinghamshire
Volume:8
Page:0125

The 1901 and 1911 census is for the Hubert who was born in 1888...so not the right Hubert.

2 trees on Ancestry have Hubert and Lizzie in their trees but unfortunately no details for Hubert regarding his birth.

A very nice photo of them though.

This is the death for the Hubert who was born in 1888....

Hubert C King in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name:Hubert C King
Birth Date:abt 1888
Date of Registration:Jun 1942
Age at Death:54
Registration district:Gloucester City
Inferred County:Gloucestershire
Volume:6a
Page:581

I did wonder if this was his birth it's a year out from the birth date given on the death record, but registered in the correct quarter:

First name(s) HUBERT CHARLES
Last name KING
Birth year 1894
Birth quarter 4
District YORK
County Yorkshire
Country England
Volume 9D Page 30

I'm struggling to see him on any census. It may be easier to buy his marriage certifcate which will give you his age and father's name.

I think that is the only way to go on this one Gritty.

from yvonne

To go back further with Hubert, you need 1919 Marriage Cert., will give name of his Father (hopefully!) to get right one.

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/medal-index-cards-ww1.htm

Yvonne, if you have the medals then around the rim of the medal should be his name, rank service number and regiment (although many I've seen are quite badly worn).

Can you decipher anything from them and post it on here?

A useful guide to medals:

These both relate to the same man (father William):

Looks like he joined the Marines after discharge from the Gloucesters. He was discharged from the Marines in 1912 so possibly re-enlisted in army for WW1.
