Hi,
William was my great Uncle. I'm trying to find his family.
His Father was also william b1880. He had a brother, Charles b1914.
William moved to Birmingham after the war. He had a Son called Michael 1939 and a daughter Margeret 1942?
I have very little knowledge of my larger family and would welcome any info at all. Thank you

Also - if you can pin down his birth, and find his exact birth date, it might be possible to find a death for him.

Staffordshire (not Stoke) births:

Births Jun 1914
DAVIES Charles Nickisson Wolstanton 6b 222

Is McKisson the same as Nickisson?

Added:
Marriages Jun 1912

Nickisson Hannah Davies Stoke T. 6b 388

Buy birth certificate for exact date of birth?

Has he definitely died?

Was Michael definitely born in 1939, and were the marriage and births in Staffordshire?
Thanks

Added:
Free bmd shows 2 marriages for William Davies to Margaret in Staffordshire from 1933 to 1939.
Neither of these marriages cross-check with a birth for Michael in 1939.
There are 5 births for Michael in Staffordshire on free bmd.

You can look for these yourself.
Possibly free bmd is misssing some, and ancestry is needed?

As you can find his birth record, if you get the cert and find out his birth date, if he died after 1969 it might be possible to find his death based on that.
