It is roughly 1865. How do you know your William's birth date if you have no copy of marriage certificate, birth or death certificate?

could you check on the William born 1865 Death also his Parents please

Joyce

Thank you so much

Joyce

Joyce

Do you have Ancestry..as sometimes i find it, if you have say like yours in this case to search like this

McDowell......Mc Dowell.....to put a space in

For confirmation you could always order the certificate using the above details from www.gro.gov.uk. It will cost you £7 and you need to tick the box where it says is GRO reference known ans use those details above.

Happy Hunting

Jane
