I think the father's name may be wrong on that 1881, wonder if it should be Jos instead of Jas?

Julie, do you have William Thomas' birth certificate for his mother's maiden name?

William Thomas Still was my great grandfather. His father was Joseph T Still and his mother Catharine was born in Ireland. William Thomas married Mary Wyatt on 24.6.1894 in Bethnal Green. Their son, also William Thomas Still, was born 27.3.1897 and was a Thames Lighterman. Any help with tracing Joseph T Still or any other info would be appreciated. Julie Buse
