Hi im trying to find a WILLIAM HENRY WISON WAY all i know is that he was a journalist and possibly either from Devon or Cumberland i have no dates at all of when he was born possibly around 1880 but i believe to still be alive in 1901 i know a lot of William Wilson,s were named around this time if anyone can help i would be grateful.

Any connection?

Stella,
I'm seeing a marriage for Charles Harold WAY in 1899. His father is listed as William Henry Wilson WAY-occ:jounalist.

Something doesn't add up!!?

Maureen

Sorry i dont think so thanks anyway

I have my grandmothers marriage certificate for 1941 and it says her fathers name which is William Henry and the surname as Wilson-Way and he was deceased

OK. Would you care to share your grandmother's details?
Edit: And it says he was a journalist on the marriage cert???
Maureen

I have my grandmothers marrriage certificate it states her father as WILLIAM HENRY WILSON WAY deceased and this is in 1941 her mother i have as Mary W-Way as being aged 29 on the 1901 cenus although i have doubted this to be her true age as she died in 1947 aged 70? also the census states my g g gran as married but there was no mention of a husband on this census ,i hope i havent confused you

Maureen

thank you for the last bit of info i will keep this for my records

Do you have your Grandmother's birth certificate? Is it possible that Marian Kate Way, aged 26 years on that 1891 census is her mother? I am wondering if the father's name on her marriage certificate is actually that of her Grandfather - given to save face?

Hi Maureen that is my 2 grandmothers on that census but anything before that has got me puzzled ?

Rootgatherer,i see what your saying i dont have my grandmothers birth certificate but i will get one my g g gran was always known as Mary Lizzie and this was on her death certificate in 1947

The William H. W. Way on the 1901 census in Abergavenny is described as married although he is a boarder and no wife there for him.



EDIT

That looks like their marriage posted earlier. The one in Abergavenny.
