Could be any of these. Which one is yours? Should be easy enough now to look up marriages and determine fathers names which may narrow it down.

Yes, I know the answer, my 'cousin' needs to get William 1860's marriage certificate ...

Now the tricky bit. Is there any way of determining if William Wells 1860 was the son of William Wells 1833 York .....??

Thank you Andy, but can I be cheeky and ask for the 1901 as I have just realised the person I am looking for next wasn't born until1897!

Hi all, glad to have a reason for coming back!

I have recently been contacted by a 'wannabe' cousin concerning my William Wells c.1860. I checked for him in FreeBMD and there were 2 born in York in 1860!

As William is the brother of my main family line I have not given him much attention and certainly :-
Marriages Mar 1882
WELLS William York
9d 26

TAYLOR Annie Elizabeth York
9d 26

is new to me.

Please can anybody see if this couple and children make an appearance in the 1891 census and then, of course I have to see whether they are a part of my extended family?

Many thanks,
Frances
