Can someone please see if I have the correct Percy Chambers.
Is it just a mistake that he has put his father's name as Charles and not Alfred?

Marriage between Percy Harry Chambers & Edith Lucy Colenutt - 30th March 1912, Ryde, Isle of Wight.
Taken from Ancestry:
Name: Percy Harry Chambers
Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1889
Age: 23
Father's Name: Charles Chambers
Spouse's Name: Edith Lucy Colenutt
Spouse's Age: 31
Spouse's Father's Name: Charles Colenutt

I do not have the certificate.
------------------------------------------------
Edith Lucy Colenutt is the daughter of my GG Grandmother's sister, Lucy and Charles Colenutt. She was born 1880 in Ventnor, Isle of Wight.
Percy Harry Chambers is the son of my Grandparents, Alfred & Eugenie Kate Chambers. He was born 1891 in Newport, Isle of Wight.
1911 census Percy and his sister Florence have the surname Reynolds and are living in South Lambeth, London with mother Kate and step-father James Reynolds.
If this Percy Chambers is the correct one then he is Edith's 1st cousin.

I have found another Percy Chambers with father Charles but he was also killed in WWI and it says he was married to someone else. So it's not him.
Hope you can understand this.
