It will be easier to help if you can post up the details that you have about them so far, Albert.

I only have a date of death as 3rd January 1994 and his name is George Henry Sadler. He lived in Walthamstowe, London.

His entry in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 on ancestry shows his date of birth as 3 Feb 1910. Searching for a George Sadler with that date of birth in the 1939 Register search on Findmypast comes up with George H Sadler in Walthamstow, and FreeBMD shows that there is a George Henry Sadler birth registered Jan-Mar 1910 in West Ham district, which was the district for Walthamstow. So 3 Feb 1910 looks to be correct.

Thank you kindly. So, if I buy his birth certificate I will then get to know who his parents had been?

It will at least tell you who his mother was, but we may be able to figure it out another way, so don't order it just yet, though of course it may end up that you need to order it to be certain that any info we find is correct.

The new online GRO Birth Index shows mother's maiden name even for pre-1911 births:
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/c...xes_search.asp
And it has George Henry Sadler's mother's maiden name as Seward.

Back in a minute to see if I can find out more.

Yes it would be a good idea.

Also, looking at the 1911 Census, there is a George Henry Sadler living in Walthamstow with his parents George Joseph Sadler and Edith Emily Dew SDler. He is a only childhttp://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum/search.php?do=getnew

Would there be any record of George producing any children?

Let's just try to confirm George's parents first and then see if we can find out about any children who he had, although if they could be / are still alive, we wouldn't post details on the message boards.

FreeBMD has a likely marriage for George Joseph Sadler and Edith Emily D Seward, Oct-Dec 1904 Hackney, and ancestry has the actual marriage record confirming that they married each other 24 Dec 1904 at St Peter, West Hackney:

The National Probate Calendar has this entry:
1958
SADLER George Joseph of 116 Warner Road Walthamstow Essex died 30 January 1947 Administration London 12 September to George Henry Sadler porter. Effects £561 7s 10d.

You can search it for free on here and it will have info on how to order copies of wills / letters of administration (the above would only be letters of administration, no will, so might not tell you much):
