My GGrandad William herbert Jones.
Was married in Bootle 1907 to Mina Gilbertson, age on certificate 24. His fathers name on the certificate is Robert Jones.
On his daughters birth certificate in 1911 he was living in Lowell Street Walton, West Derby,Liverpool.
I would like to know any details on his mother i.e name, d.o.b,and any brothers or sisters.
Good Luck Regards Tina. X

Two possible births as the marriage took place in Q2 1907, they would have only been 24.

Hi Tina

From his marriage certificate does it say what Roberts occupation was

Julie

No problem Julie. Looks like two minds thinking alike. If we know the occupations, we might be able to find them in 1901 to establish where William was born.

Julie/Potty, just posted those two as possibles, as you say, if we knew fathers name and occupation it would help. There were an awful lot of that name born in the area around that time!!!

Sorry Tina, I was going to post this last night but I had visitors.
Since you have an address for 1911 (daughter's birth cert) it might be worth your while thinking about paying for a copy of the 1911 census. This will at least give you a place of birth for William Jones which would help you find him on the 1901.
A lot will depend on how much you want to invest in finding him.
