ROSKILLY William Birt W. Ham 4a 88

You should buy the certificate

Can't see a birth under Roskilly, so wondering if he was illegitimate, or adopted?
There is this:-

Births Dec 1872 (>99%)
Burdice William Burt Poplar 1c 711

................as his uncle in 1891 census has surname Burt, maybe?

Gins,
William was born in abt.1874 not 1907!

Hi Catherine

Thank you for the speedy reply and yes I will get the marriage certificate to confirm the information given.

Kind regards
Valerie

Valerie,
Doesn't look as though you need to buy the certificate as you can view it for free on ancestry. I have posted the info above, gives father as Thomas a Tailor.

Continuing from 1891 census for Joseph Burt, here he is in 1881:-

Could William be the same William as in 1891?

This looks to be a death to go with the birth for William Burt Burdice I posted earlier:-

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915 about William Burt Burdick

Estimated birth year: abt 1873
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1893

...........so we can rule that one out.

HOLLEY Elizabeth Shoreditch 1c 244
ROSKILLY Thomas Shoreditch 1c 244
..........
?????Births Jun 1875
ROSKILLY William Anthony Q Mile End 1c 516
I wonder if his name was changed along the way to reflect the fact that the Burts semi-adopted him??? His baptism is in Ancestry and shows father as Thomas mother Elizabeth.
