Find Ancestors

Thanks for all your help. I have found both these links myself. I think I will do what you and someone else suggested which was to try and trace one of the siblings. Trouble is they too seem to have disapeared after the 1881 census.

Not to worry I knew this wouldnt be easy x

Thanks again everyone.

I was going to suggest that you get one of the twins birth certs to see who the mother is but I cant find them in the index.

Maybe someone else will have better luck :)

Sorry - getting late now and I think I should call it a day.

I have no birth certificates for either William Willetts. I only have a copy of a marriage cert for William Willett (b. 1864) and Sarah Annie Taylor (b 1873). This would have been my great great grandfathers son (my great grandfather). Sorry to confuse you, I confuse myself most of the time x

Georgina I'm confused. On this thread you say you have your G Grandad's birth cert but on your other you say you can not locate his birth!

The only census I can find them on is the 1881 where is shows that the first child born was William Willett 1864. This birth matches the only concrete information (copy of birth certificate for my great granded) I have for a William Willett in my family records. Therefore I am assuming that this is a connection.

Any help would be gratefully received x

When was first child born?

Which census is the first on which they appear together?

Is anyone able to find a marriage for a Eliza Willett nee Watson Born abt 1844 and a William Willett born abt 1842. They both came from Brixton, Surrey. Although seemed to have moved to Kent. Cannot find a marriage for these two.

Any suggestions???????????
