Can anyone please help before i pull my hair out?!! My great grandfather married Sarah Ann Webb, had a daughter Elizabeth 1910 and a son Edward 1921 who were both born Dudley West Mids. I'm struggling to find any info on Edward senior as family members aren't sure if he was born in Wales or the Midlands.He was born in 1884 and died in 1949 His occupation was possibly a coalminer. Regards Sam

Hi Samantha

You really need to buy a copy of their marriage certificate this will give you their fathers names.
Then you will be able work further back.
I've just had a quick look but there are a lot of Edward Williams in that area on the 1901 Census.So you really need his fathers name to be sure you have the right one.

Hi Linda, i haven't got birth certificates for Elizabeth or Edward. Elizabeth was my Nan who died in 1998. I've only recently started my tree and the Williams are a problem. I'll order the marriage certificate as Cheryl said and hopefully will get some info. Thanks the both of you, regards Sam
