Find Ancestors

Thank you so much Reggie, that has really helped me, it looks like you might have found the right William for me. I think I will get William & Vi's marriage certificate and that should put me straight. I wonder if I could get a 1911 Census for him as that would be a great help to finding his parents.
Really appreciated Julia

NO children, which isn't surprising



Births Sep 1899 (>99%)
Amon Millicent Emily V Elham 2a 1097

Well they married in Sheppey and William died there too so think its a different stanton family
Marriages Sep 1920
Corthorn Florence L Standon Sheppey 2a 2911
Corthorn Gladys M Stanton Sheppey 2a 2911
Standen Walter J Corthorn Sheppey 2a 2911
Stanton William H Corthorn Sheppey 2a 2911

Looks to be a double wedding maybe for sisters

Swale is on the isle of Sheppey


He was born in Gravesend Kent

Births Sep 1896
Stanton William Haven Gravesend 2a 529

I thought the William you have down was the one but not sure. There is a photo on Ancestry but I can't see it properly and I think not. If it is he was married before to a Gladys Corthorn in 1920. Cannot find a death for her so probably wrong. There are so many Stantons, will have to get that marriage certificate which should give me his middle name.

Sadly this looks to be Millicent

Name: Millicent Emily V Stanton
Birth Date: 11 Aug 1899
Date of Registration: Sep 1984
Age at Death: 85
Registration district: Dover
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1029


So in view of her birth year it's unlikely the address I sent for William is the right one as he probably no longer here either

Thank you everybody, I should have realised it was only the recent ones you could acccess on line. I really want to know what happened to them both, I know they were at my mothers wedding in 1962 and I was very close to them before I came to Australia. I might have to do as you suggest and maybe get their marriage certificate which would tell me a little about Bill. I know a lot about Vi but I think I will get her death certificate. Really appreciate your help Julia

Is this William?

It's possible William is in a care home will PM you with a possible address

The electoral rolls online are for 2002 onwards only

Local electoral rolls are held at the main library or records office for area but I believe they are only searchable by address not by name

I am trying to find out information on Henry, I have a relative 80 year later but need to trace back. Henry born 1832 Wootton Northamptonshire m Sarah Spencer B1823 I know they had four children Sarah William Ann & George. Please could somebody help me,
Thank you kiindly
