I've been sent a scan of the Peggy / Cyril marriage certificate, and Cyril's father is given as Charles Pearce, railway carpenter. There's a 1911 census for a Charles Pearce born ~1862, occupation 'Carpenter L N R Railway' in Newport Pagnell.
It is possible that A.L. Pearce (witness) is A.J. Pearce, which could be Charles' wife from the 1911 census, Alice Jane Pearce. It doesn't really look like a J to me, but I've been wrong plenty of times before when it comes to handwriting on official certificates!
It does not say that Charles is deceased, though, so I don't know whether he'd still be alive and working as a railway worker, or he's dead and used to be a railway worker. If the former, then it can't be the man on the 1911 census.
I wonder if this could lead us to Cyril, or is perhaps simply a red herring?
