Maybe his mother was English! I do feel there is a link to the South of England and the sea. He told my mother his father was a ship's captain and he died at sea with his wife, but on the wedding certificate he put his father was a shipping agent.

Sorry, I meant he did not give his place of birth, maybe because it was Germany/Austria.
And I meant he wouldn't have given his place of birth because that isn't a requirement when you get married!

I don't think he would automatically have been a British citizen at that date if his parents were married and his father was German or Austrian and his mother was English. But I'm not certain.
