The 1921 census info is as supplied by the man himself. The birth year is calculated by the transcriber from his age at the time

Hope this helps..................


As I said in my post at 15.23 yesterday, he was living alone in 1921

Is THIS his second marriage?

William seems to have materialised out of nowhere at his marriage in 1917

There is no birth matching the info he gives on 1921 census, and I can't identify him on earlier censuses with any degree of certainty

Did he name a father when he married in 1923?

I have done some digging......................and I wonder about this birth


TIMSON, HENRY (MMN) JARVIS
GRO Reference: 1886 M Quarter in ASHBY DE LA ZOUCH Volume 07A Page 124

This is the correct district for a birth in Whitwick

Hi His second marriage is right and his father is named on the certificate he is also named William, he and his wife Sarah died within a week of each other 1927, the birth you found for Henry Timson 1886 was my uncle

That means that William was somewhat older than he claimed - if that’s him above on 1891 census

Hi I have been to the grave and the William Thompson I was told was my mother's cousin, if that is my grandfather (William) on the 1921 census he told them he was 3 years younger than he was ? My ancestors are full of secrets
