You need to place them on the next census. This normally brings a result.

For confirmation you could always order the certificate using the above details from www.gro.gov.uk. It will cost you £7 and you need to tick the box where it says is GRO reference known ans use those details above.

Happy Hunting

It is roughly 1865. How do you know your William's birth date if you have no copy of marriage certificate, birth or death certificate?
