Find Ancestors

I am trying to find some information about William Boyce married to Lillian Phyliss Russell known as Phyllis in 1914, as far as i know he was a Doctor in the army

For location:

Marriages Mar 1914 (>99%)
BOYCE William Russell W. Ham 4a 199
Russell Annie Boyce W.Ham 4a 199

EDIT oops, just saw her name - have I got this wrong or have you?!

sorry her Maiden name was Herbert

No birth for Lilian P Herbert
No marriage to William Boyce.

What area please?
Could it be Scotland ?

sorry you are right i am having a funny moment

William was Married to Annie Phyllis's Mother Ihave quite a lot of info on Annie but can't seem to find any on William

Phyliss was Married to Henry Giles

Hi
I found William's Army record....he was in the Medical Corp but not a doctor......his occupation on enlistment was Builders Labourer.

Record gives details of Annie and their marriage ...also gives children and dates of birth if you need any of these.

It appears William died 29/04/1918 in Cairo as the result of a Tramway accident whilst off duty.

Thanks Aileen that would be a great help also looking for his parents,

Parents aren't mentioned, He married Annie Russell on 16/03/1914 at St Luke's Church....Annie was a widow and the first 4 of the children mentioned....although listed as Boyce do state that they were Russell originally

Bessie ...........01/10/1902....East Ham
Lillian Phyllis.. 28/01/1905... East Ham
Doris................04/11/1908....Canning Town
Annie ? ..........29/04/1912....Canning Town
and
Mildred Norah Boyce.....22/12/1917....West Ham

In Memory of
Private W BOYCE

Yes Annie was widowed in 1901 so the children were William's i don't no where to look for this parents also i wonder if she married again, sad really she did not seem to have much luck did she. She was my Great grandmother thanks very much Aileen for your help at least i can add a few more to my Dads family.

I found this for the 1911 census......

Name: Relationship to head: Marital Status: Years married: Sex: Age in 1911: Occupation: Where born: Report error View Original Page
RUSSELL, WILLIAM HEAD MARRIED M 36 BRICKLAYERS LABOURER BRISTOL GLOS
RUSSELL, ANNIE WIFE MARRIED 14 YEARS F 37 EDINBURGH RESIDENT
RUSSELL, MARY DAUGHTER F 13 LEWISHAM KENT
RUSSELL, BESSIE DAUGHTER F 8 MANOR PARK ESSEX
RUSSELL, PHYLLIS DAUGHTER F 6 EAST HAM ESSEX
RUSSELL, DORIS DAUGHTER F 2 WEST HAM ESSEX

I'm sure this is the family but it says that William and Annie have been married 14yrs.....and gives William as Russell not Boyce.....if the Army record is correct then William's age is wrong as he was supposedly 34 in 1915

Possible for 1901 census

Ths is a connected thread re Annie and family but does not give much information about William Boyce........hence this thread, I should think.

Sorry I don't know what else to do.....I don't do much English research.....I prefer doing Scottish stuff

Thank you very much for your help
