Thanks for all of your help,

I think I will cross reference the Mary's born c1872, Surrey with marriages to Wellman's. Or maybe William and Mary were just not married?

William is only my gt gt uncle, but I hate loose ends!

Thanks again,

I wonder if she could have been married before. I know it's a bit of a longshot but it's a possibility.

Hello again,

I recieved the birth certificate for William David Lewis and his mother was Mary Jane Wellman.

The problem is, I can't find a marriage between a William Lewis and a Mary Wellman or evan a Mary Wellman born 1872 Richmond, Surrey on any other census!

Can anybody help please?

Thanks,

Vicky X

Births Sep 1899

Lewis William David St. Alban's 3a 676

the cert will give you Mums maiden name and make it easier to search , No marriage is showing on FreeBMD
