Hey guys back into doing my tree.I have got a wedding cert of a william worrall to a jane bucknall on 1865.William was 20 at the time of marriage.Bot residance in bilston at time of marriage. Looks like the word for profession for him is miner.His fathers name on the cert is william worrall and looks like he to is a miner.Problem ive got is cant find on any census with a william worrall as a miner with a son named william.Ive found a thomas but completly different name.Any ideas??

Arn't Willenhall and Tipton next to each other?

I dread to think where my husband put as my place of birth on any census as he did'nt get it right on his Genes tree (he put where I grew up) and we were actually born in the same hospital :-D

Craig, it's the same family but the enumerator may have made an error, or been given duff info depending who in the family he asked.

hey guys really appriciate the time you've put in,i've ordered the birth cert for william worrall 1883 so least i'll get his mothers maden name aswell.I was following the 1885 worrall line for abit but as soon as i got the marrage cer for worrall to bird it was on the sept 1904 and he was 21 in age so that told me on was following the wrong one and it was infact the 1883 william worrall

That area does seem to be the Wo*rr*l* "hot spot",doesn't it?
Heck-I can't even see Phoebe (or variations) let alone William!
Just a "well done" to Craig for actually purchasing a cert, So many people don't bother !

Best,
Maureen

Eh! There are those on here who will shoot one down in flames for suggesting a person on a census may be a member of family without buying a certificate to verify it - am merely avoiding their wrath!! ;-)

Seriously, I'm struggling to find a birth for William b1846 in Tipton, and there are a few lads in that neck of the wood with the same name.

Unfortunately 2 William Worrall's born close together:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Sep 1883
WORRALL William Wolverhampton 6b 594

Births Jun 1885
Worrall William Wolverhampton 6b 550

If I was going to take a gamble I'd go for the earlier one and get the certificate to see mother's maiden name and then know if the 1865 marriage above was correct.

This is a submitted record on IGI so can't be taken as gospel:

William Worrall

Marriages:
Spouse: Jane Bucknall Family
Marriage: About 1864 Willenhall, Stafford, England

Might tie in with:

Burns George Wolverhampton 6b 533
Smith Ann Maria Wolverhampton 6b 533
