Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 8 Send Message	Hi Folks, Thanks for your input. You have got the correct William on the Census' but i am looking for his birth and parents details (all I know is his father was named as John Fisher at William's marriage). William was born June 1838 to Oct 1838 in Shevington. Aged 20 at his marriage 13/6/1859 and died aged 54 JAS 1892. Any help you can give me with his birth (and parents) would me much appreciated. Thanks again. Anne

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 8 Send Message	Many thanks for your input. But my Wm Platt was born June 1838 to Oct 1838 in Shevington. I am starting to think that his birth wasn't registered. Is this likely ? Thanks

Member Since: July 2009 Posts: 8 Send Message	Hi , I hope someone can help. I am looking for the parents of William Platt (born c 1838) who married an Elizabeth Dixon in 1859. William's father was given as John Fisher (a Stone mason) at the marriage. William and Elizabeth were both living in Shevington (Wigan) at the time of their marriage.(Elizabeth's father was James Ascroft - a collier). I cannot find anything to suggest who William's mother was, or who this 'John Fisher' is. Nor can I find a birth record in Wigan for William in 1838. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :-)
