You could look for his father on the 1901 census which might help. nell

John, I have answered your mail.

The birth index does not give mothers maiden name until 1912 so your only course is to obtain the birth certificate. I am assuming that you have already looked for that.

I only wish I could help. I also have a William born approx 1907 in the right area (assuming you mean West Ham Essex/London) but mine died 1956 and his father was Stanley. Good luck with your search, Janet

I presume you already have his marriage certificate. Excuse my geography, but where is Westham

Sorry I can't help with your problem but I'll just point out that there are Westhams in Dorset, Sussex and Somerset.
