Have you like located his birth first to establish his birth name

Looking for Edwin William or William Edwin Spriggs on the 1911 census. Born Birmingham UK 1900 so would be about 10 years old.
Thanks :-)

From records of births he seems to have had many siblings which could be easy to follow on from to find a more up-to-date connection who may be able to fill gaps.?

Kay
thanks for your help.

Stewart,

Any Naval service record for Eric will still be held on file and are not in the public domain.

Eric shows he was still living the the Birmingham area about 15 years ago.and could still be living.

I think this is more likely. As you say there is a good chance the husband may have been in the services
Thanks
S

I think the family were based in Birmingham. I think Eric may have been abroad in the services

Not sure. I think Florence had a middle initial M.

Could this be William and Florence in 1939.?

The closed records indicates those people were born after 1915 and as yet havnt been updated from the NHS register even if they have since passed away.

One of which could be Eric A Spriggs.

Any marriage//or marriages for Eric can be found in record search but are fairly recent in years and the people concerned may still be living as to put full details on here,but perhaps you have these details.?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Or this one maybe nearer the match.but William isnt listed,but could have been on war work. in 1939?

Looking for info on the above. May have served in the Royal Marines. Father may be William E Spriggs 1901, mother Florence Hughes 1901, m. 1921 birmingham, not sure though.
Thanks in advance for any help
