Perhaps he may have been born in 1895 or 1896? Could have been born in 1895 but not registered until 1896.

Joan,
Thank you for that. The only thing is his marriage certificate says his father is Willia Henry Carter also. Should I be looking for a father William? Or could that have been to cover the fact he was illegitimate?

Can a nice person please help me find William Henry Carter born in 1895. He was born in West Ham area of London on September 17th, and according to records was a Carter. He married a Louie Tryphena Evans 1915 and his fathers name is recorded as William Henry Carter, occupation a carman. He died in 1977. The problem I am having is I am trying to trace him on the 1901 census to find out who his parents were, but have come to a stand still. My Grandfather is now telling me that William Henry Carter birth certificate went missing as it is rumoured he was illegitimate and perhaps born a Causton or Gossard (perhaps spelt differently) can some kind person please help me unravel this mystery as I am struggling to do so.

Thank you :-)

Charlotte
