I am trying to find out information on a William Nielson or Nielsen who died in Plymouth Devon around 1926 aged 32. Sketchy information I have is that the family came from Norway. I have tried searching the census online for 1901 and his name does not appear. Does anyone have any idea where I need to look

Did William marry?

Rodney Report 13 Sep 2008 19:29

I dont have her birth certificate. William did marry because he had a son and 4 or 5 daughters all of which are now deceased.We believe his wife was called Ellen again no records to prove or disprove unfortunately

if children were born in England do you have any of their dates of birth. May then give mothers maiden name on the birth index

This is Frances birth, registered during Jan,Feb, March 1918, Mothers maiden name is Berryman so the marriage I found for you in 1899 is correct. I recommend you get the marriage certificate which will give you Williams fathers name,.

Births Mar 1918
NEILSON Frances M Berryman Plymouth 5b 333
