Searching for Willie Kenworthy White .... he married my great grandmother on 30th July 1927 in Hull. He was 38, a bachelor, mine worker and put his residence as 72 Top Street, Hemsworth, Near Pontefract.

I think I have found his b. as April/May/June 1889 Rotherham 9c/696 but I'm not certain and I haven't yet bought the birth certificate.

Please can anyone help as I really need to know his date of birth and date of death. Also, I'd love to know who his parents were. I'm not able to find them so far.

Thank you all!

Nicola

Any father named on the marriage cert ?

Witnesses - any that might have been related ?

His father's name should be on the marriage cert

???? EDIT: This now seems unlikely in light of later census.

That birth is the only one that comes up . At aged 38 when he married his birth would be c 1889 so that ties up nicely. His is quite a unique name so i would be satisfied thats his birth

Yes, just checked and I'm pretty sure I've got his birth right but still can't find his death.

There is no father on the marriage certificate, or profession, I'm afraid!
