Glad to see you got back to us at last! I've read back through and will have another go.

There are no Macks at 60 Weltje Road on the 1924 electoral roll:

Ancestry doesn't seem to have a 1925 e roll for that street, and they seem to be missing the even numbers in 1926.

I can't find an A A Badclay or Radclay. Could it be Barclay or Redclay?

I am wondering if my Great Grandfather was German - Willhelm Heinrich or Heinrich Wilhelm MACK, because Mack is German / Austrian, hence he has not put his place of birth, on his wedding certificate . My Grandfather had said he thought he as related to Austrian Royalty. i found someone who could be my Great Grandfather [Heinrich Wilhelm Karl Mack, Birth: abt 1868, Death: 27 Aug 1911 - Stettin, Preußen (Germany) ? It is in German. I do not know if his occupation was to do with the sea.

The address on a marriage cert is the address at the time of the marriage, not a place of birth.

No place was given on death certificate for birth.
Can you tell us who registered the death? (or the relationship between them and Alec if the informant may still be living)

This is the image of that death record:

It says "der Kaufmann", i.e. businessman.

By the way, there isn't much Austrian stuff online yet, so if Alec's father was Austrian he might be hard to find. Also German coverage online is patchy.

Sorry, I meant he did not give his place of birth, maybe because it was Germany/Austria. My Uncle Robert registered his death. However I have not been able to get any information from any of the family over the years!

You can imagine how frustrating this search is.
Thanks for all the help!

If he (Alec) wasn't a British citizen by birth, I would have thought we could find some record relating to him obtaining British citizenship - he wouldn't have acquired it by marrying a British woman at that time. But I couldn't find anything.
