Hi, I am looking for a marriage and family of William Robert Williams born Bromley, Kent c1796 (may come under Chislehurst, Kent)
William's father was Robert c1764 Chislehurst, Kent and mother Sarah.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Jackie

Have you checked the IGI?

How would you know if you found the right person? Do you have any idea of the name of his spouse?

Or the name(s) of his child(ren)?

Hi Reg,
Yes I have looked on IGI, but I couldn't find a marriage for William Robert Williams born c1796 in the Bromley or surrounding areas.
Because I do not have a marriage for him, I therefore do not have any children for him.
What I DO know is that his father was Robert and mother Sarah as I said in my request for help.
I do not ask for help if I am able to find the information myself. I am not new to this research and I have tried all the avenues that I have available to me or I can afford. I therefore came to GR help and thought there would be someone out there who could do just that.
Kind regards
Jackie

Hi Heather, Thankyou so much for your time and help, this looks good, they are a large family all from the same areas, but this is one of the sons I could not find a marriage for or children, it looks like this could be it, I will check it out.
Thankyou so much again for your kindness
Regards

I was hoping that you might have a snippet which would enable us to find him on a census.....thus making the search easier.

I asked if you'd checked the IGI simply because your message didn't state that you had..................
