I think the birth I posted on 20th August was your father William T S Walker, mother's name Seedhouse.

Think you need to purchase that certificate to see what information it gives you as to William's father.

PM recd from Susan -

williams surname was walker as was my maiden name i was curious as to why

My reply -

Had another look at your original posting. If your father was William Thomas Seedhouse, I'm not understanding why your maiden name was Walker. Am I missing something?

Further PM from Susan -

my father was called william thomas seedhouse walker.Walker was my maiden name. my father was born in 1927 was in the armed forces.that is about all i know

Why would he be surnamed Seedhouse if his mother married a Howe? Even if he was illegitimate he would still carry his mothers name which in 1927 would be Howe?

HOWE Joseph Morpeth 10b 762

If so, this is the family in 1911 -

HOUSEHOLD HOWE GLADYS F 1908 3 Morpeth Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD HOWE JOSEPH M 1911 2 MONTHS Morpeth Northumberland

Have you a birth certificate for your father? If so, what does it say exactly?

I am not finding a birth of a William Thomas Seedhouse in 1927. Where was he born?
