On the 1901 census she's Sophia R. I think middle name is Rose and that's what she went by in 1911.

Had been married to Rose 20 years in 1911:

He's very difficult to pin down.

Do you have Lillian's birth certificate? If so, have you found a marriage for her parents? As Shirley above has said, this should give you his father's name.

It would seem that the death reference would have been in regards to a baby that had been born and died within the same year.

Maybe that could be his fathers death .....

Sorry about that i meant birth year 1856 - 1860c according to the 1901 and 1911 census's.

Just to confuse things a little more.

His daughter Lillian gives her dad Williams name as John on her 1932 marriage certificate.

Are we looking for the William from the 1901/1911 census that were posted by George??

There is this one:-

First name(s) WILLIAM GEORGE
Last name GRAHAM
Birth year 1869
Birth quarter 3
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District ISLINGTON
County London
Country England
Volume 1B

or this one:-

First name(s) WILLIAM JAMES
Last name GRAHAM
Birth year 1871
Birth quarter 4
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District ISLINGTON
County London
Country England
Volume 1B
Page 304

In the 1911 census he gives his place of birth as Holloway and Holloway is covered by the Islington Registration District.

If you take his age given in the 1901 census then this is a possibility:-

First name(s) WILLIAM
Last name GRAHAM
Birth year 1855
Birth quarter 1
Registration month -
Mother's last name -
District ISLINGTON
County London
Country England
Volume 1B

However at this time registering a birth was not compulsory so there may not be a birth registration to be found.
