Hi There, Can anyone help with a birth lookup for William Whitehead born about 1820/22 Falkirk Sterlingshire Scotland. I have found another William Whitehead born 1813 for the same area giving his parents as Agnes and John but as the birth year is not correct I am wondering if this could have been an older sibling that may have died? The above search is my Great Great Grandfather who died in Woolwich Kent. I have not been able to find him in the 1841 Census but did find him in the 1851/61 Census and they also confirm the birth year I have recorded. His profession was a Calico Printer in The Royal Artillery and on his Final Description W.O. Form 83 left the service in April 1863 aged 43 years. Regards Marion
