Hi
william was a miner in Canada according to marriage cert
Val

Valerie

Do you think the 1901 record could be William based on his age, birthplace and work? You also referred to his father and mother's marriage cert. Which year was it and does it list their ages and parents?

Kay

Hi Kay

Val

Presumably this is William's birth in Liskard
