Hi Susie, Please could you look up William Joseph Williams born 1874. We have him possibly living in Southwark in 1991 - head of household is Lucy H Jones - maybe she's his mother and remarried, but there is no husband mentioned. I've hit a dead end with William and would like to find out his parents, grandparents, where he lived, siblings etc. He is my paternal great grandfather by the way. Contact will go through my father Martin Williams email address. Thanks in advance Sam Jones NZ

Hi Susie, Just checked on IGI and found two more christenings of William Robinson father William mother Elizabeth.24/3/1829 and26/4/1830 both at St.Peter's Liverpool(but to confuse things further I have ancestors born in Warrington who were christened at St.Peter,s Liverpool,according to IGI not Thompsons) also there are another 2 marriages mentioned as well as the one to Elizabeth Crawley.One to Elizabeth Owens 15/12/1828 St.Peters and Elizabeth Nelson 15/5/1828 St.Johns

Hi Susie, Thought I'd try looking for your John Hatton. Looked at FreeBMD and found a John Hatton married at Greenwich (deptford is part of the district) marrying an Emma Cook in Sept 1876. Did he have a first wife maybe? As you probably know the site is not complete and this very strongly could be a red herring. Angela Born

Hi Susie, I've had lots of help from other people on the site and have found my GGGrandparets wedding in 1895 in Bedminster, Bristol. I would love to know which church, quarter, and whether there are parents names recorded. They were William Williams and Thirza Pruett . Thanks Paul
