i think i will buy his marriage certificate as that will identify the fathers name without a doubt don't u think?

On the 1891 census it is MAY Bensley his is living with - NOT MARY Bensley.

William could just as easily be the nephew of John Bensley (if he had a married sister).

Your best bet would be to buy William's birth certificate to be sure of his parents.

Event(s):
Birth: Hollesley

Christening: 18 MAR 1847 , Suffolk, England

Death:
Burial:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents:
Father: WILLIAM LING Family

that would make her Mary Ling initially then - there are a lot of Mary Ling's on the census

thanks for coming back to the thread - it is so nice to get some feedback - very often you put loads of postings on a thread and never hear another word from the poster, so thanks for coming back!!

I found a William Henry Ling in the 1891 census living with a Mary Bensley - it says that he is her nephew - could this be my William - if it was, was she his fathers sister? its all questions without answers. Thanks so far for all your help

This certificate would give you his parent's names.

Kath. x

the majority of Lings come from Suffolk

it looks promising but the William Henry Ling noted here was born in 1861 in Tasmania and not 1877 in Guiltcross although the father was born in Guiltcross in 1840 - thank you for such a prompt reply

Please could anyone help me trace further back from June 1877? I know that William was born in June 1877 in Guiltcross, Norfolk but I cannot find out mother or fathers name or if he had any brothers or sisters.
