There is no William Bell with mother's maiden name Barrass registered between 1912 and 1919.

Could he have been born before his parents married and registered as Barrass?

Melanie,

Did the first William die at child birth and never recorded?

We think he might now have been born around 1915, before his dad went to war

This is the only marriage for Sarah Barrass that came up?

Bambrough William Houghton 10a 929
Barrass Sarah Houghton 10a 929

Could Sarah have been married before and William is the son of the first marriage?

Births and deaths are not recorded on censuses.....you need to access the GRO index.

The parents were married in 1912, according to info found for you on previous threads...........

I have spent the last hour of so looking though cenurs with my credits but I am having a real problem trying to find the birth and death of William Bell who I believe was born around 1919 give or take a few years. His fathers name was William F H Bell & mothers name was Sarah Bell (maiden name was Barrass). Could anyone find the impossible. I managed to get a great deal of help earlier in finding his parents details and their siblings but I need to find their first borns date of birth and death.
