Hi Sue yes maybe they wern't telling the truth but William must have died at some point unless he changed his name and his death is under that so I will never find his death cert. Margaret

Hi Margaret yes I do think Williams age was wrong on his marriage certificate, but that does not explain why I can't find a death certificate for him and I have it narrowed down to a 2 year period. His last child was born in Jan.1889 as his birth certificate states his name and occupation. by the 1891 census he had died. His 2 daughters who married both state father deceased and his wife Emma remarries in 1893. Margaret

Hi Sue only wish I coild find a death certificate for him I have looked everywhere asked at the local office and bought wrong ones. When Emma his widow remarried in 1893 one of the witnesses was a James Poole whom I though might be a brother. Margaret

Yes Kathleen that could most likley be his father but I wonder where William was on any other census I can't find him anywhere I really do think William was a lot older than his given age on the 1881 census age 44 on that census was supposed to have been 24 in 1871 when he married Thankyou Margaret
