William john Towell born probably in 1920's in the london area, was married to Audrey Dine in june 1952 in camberwell. I would think Audrey would have reported his death I believe he was in his late 30's early 40's when he died. Any one who can find any info on him please help

even his date of birth or death would probably help. if no one can find this could someone offer me a way forward. He would have been my husbands grandfather and as him my children and I are all carrying his name it would be nice to know some background please help

The only way is to check the full register , if not you need to find his marriage certificate to acertain his age at marriage.

wow richard,
i cant believe how much you have found from almost nothing. Thank you so much.

Don't suppose I can be cheeky and ask if anyone can try to find Edith Aris's birth. and possibly a census or 2 with details of siblings

thank you
