There are two william J wing's one in 1864 the other in 1866 so I would think it is the 1866 one that we are tying to find |

oh oops I think I was looking at the 1865 Marylebone birth when I said it was easy to find at freebmd but yes there is also the 1866 one and then yes I guess the one I was tracing was the one born in Shoreditch ... |

Have you looked at what I had already found on page one ? Would'nt the 1861 be too early? |

Sandra also said there was a daughter called Frances but her birth reg said her name was Anne which she now has a copy of and I believe I found her death when she was 15 which Sandra is now going to purchase....why did they keep swapping names |

I removed the marriage because I realised they could not have married when they were 12 but I agree the baptism looks more likely to be that couple. |

I am sure Sandra will take you up on that offer if she has not already got them. |

I am overwhelmed with all this information. Thanks for all the feedback! |

Another possibility: perhaps the marriage broke down, they didn't have the money for a divorce and Francis simply disappeared and possibly changed his name so that he would be untraceable. His son Frank (the one born 1860 and my ggfather) I reckon did the same as by 1911 he is listed as having deserted his wife. He was a commercial traveller by trade. Even an experienced genealogist hasn't been able to trace him. Did he take after his dad? He must have changed his name. :-\ |

I think the only way to be sure is to get that 1902 death certificate, it might say something that would help to identify him, like maybe former occupation ........ but it might not say anything helpful at all |

Sorry for the delay but haven't had much time to access pc this weekend. Thanks Chrissiex for the info and the several suggestions. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to try and find Frank. I forgot to write that my mother remembers only once overhearing family members that Frank had gone to the States. That of course is only a rumour. |

Ok, would it be possible to check around 1782/3 birth records of East Grinstead and West Hoathly to see if there is any trace of William, you never know? I am pretty sure when I checked before I couldn't find him in the H Keynes registers. |
