I am unable to trace my gt grandfather's birth. His name is William Kircher. He married Mary Lilian Carter in Portsmouth 1924 and died in Portsmouth 1941, aged 58. I have both the marriage and death certificates. My nan seems to think that he was born in Wimbledon, London, but he could have been born in Portsmouth. Can anyone help, I have checked freebmd and LDS.

Only thing I can suggest is the following; From waht you say he must have been born in 1883 therefore either consult the GRO or 1837 online for that year and couple or so either side.

Perhaps someone can find him on 1891 or 1901 if you put a request on here? Maz. XX

Michelle Update!! I got my arithmetic wrong...was looking for birth in 1893 not 1883. Is he the 7 year old on the 1901 living with his family in Stone, Kent? If so, it says he was born there. Sue

Thanks for all your suggestions. April I thought this was the right William Kircher, I even got the birth certificate. Then I found out this one married someone I had't even heard of, that's why I'm now stuck. Michelle
