I found him on the 1901 census but before that I'm not sure. There were rumours in my husbands family that William was born in India but I don't know how to start that search?

Wow thank you Jacqueline :-)

There is a possible birth in 1876 in Woolwich reg district which include Charlton.

Marriage cert would be useful anyway to confirm you find the right parents

Trudy

The members can post lots of info but without the marriage cert to confirm the name and occupation of his father and any possible family witnesses then you might still follow the wrong family
