Thankyou and Sue- but Im not sure that we have the right William, is there any others born on the Island around 1851, it may turn out that he wasnt born in Sheerness although its states it on the 1881 census, thanks again for your kind help

Do you have either his Marriage or Birth certificate as he could be mistranscribed and it would be easier to look for him with his parents
