I have just obtained a marriage certificate for Samuel Williams and Clara Wigley from 1875. On the certificate Clara's father is listed as Henry and I have had no trouble finding info on that name as it is quite unusual. However, Samuels father is listed as Robert Williams (deceased). I need to look on the 1871 and previous census' but I only know that Samuel was born in Liverpool and dont want to waste credits looking at the wrong family. I think he had a brother called Richard, but again I dont know for certain. Which is the cheapest site to buy credits from and which last the longest? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Suzanne

I'm not sure as I have a yearly subscription.

I have found him. On 1861 there is only one c1853, father Robert, brother Richard, mother Frances in Liverpool.

Would you like me to send the image or do you want to find him yourself?
