Kay,

That sounds right. William's mum was still a Roberts in 1891. I was just about to look for the Kings but got sidetracked by the Roberts.

There are times when an individual doesn't have to put his father on the marriage certificate; sometimes people can simply refuse although this is rare and upto the discretion of the registrar. I beleive Liam Gallacher did it, but off course this was the 1990s not the 1860s.

Does the name Pollard feature in your tree?

Just for ref Bradford, Bingley and Keighley are all very close together.

Can't find Sarah in 1881. Who was her father?

Rose

Hi Rose
Sarah was from Bradford and she stayed there throughout her married life, but William left her as he wasn't working and she was, and he classed it as having one less mouth to feed (according to my uncle).
Sarah and Wiliam had 5/6 boys. Albert, Tom, and my grandad Norman b1907 (his is the only dob I have.
I haven't been able to find them anywhere, and I have asked for help with this before. People have very kindly tried but have had no luck. Think I may have to wait until the 1911 census comes out.
Many many thanks to everyone for your efforts on my behalf
