Hi Rambling / ErikaH.
Thank you again for your further information, now that I have more information, I do understand that a marriage certificate would be my next step in my research.

Re : Rambling.
Thank you so much for your quick response and information, the information does seem to fit into my possible research.
Kind regards.
Malcolm.

To be certain you have the right person, you need to get a copy of his marriage cert, to see if he knew his father’s details

I wonder if anybody could help, to try to confirm the father and mother and family , of a William Kidwell possibly born 1837 Devonshire. My research has found a marriage for a William Kidwell (B) 1837 to a Sarah Frances Chapple in 1882 in Swansea Glamorganshire, any help would be very much appreciated.
