ok thanks anyway Dawn.

Death records index does not list the names of the parents for 1871--too early.

Joan

The death record that you found for a william neesham aged 4 do you have any idea which one of the neesham family were the parent as there were quite alot of them. Thanks Dawn.

Gary,

It can't be your William because it was on the 1881 census according to the Family Search site. Must be a different individual.

I couldn't tell with all these deleted posts--don't know what happened.

Gary I would check the two areas of London and Wolverhampton to find his birth certificate or baptism record--then you may find out who is parents were and possibly the actual place of birth.

Harriot was williams first wife she died in 1845 and william married lydia not long after. he had some children by harriot and then more after with lydia.

Gary,

I wrote the wrong one down--sorry. Lydia was married before.

Joan

Gary,

This may be your family in 1841. It's possible that William may have not been sure whether it was London or Staffordshire where he was born during the 1881 cenus and could have just mentioned "at sea" being funny!
