Find Ancestors

I am looking for any relatives of above person. So far I have found info regarding a brother named Joseph Lawrence, and 3 sisters who were all married with surnames - Gass, Theodore & Deer.
William died in WW1 leaving a widow and 2 children ,one of whom was my father. I think his parents names were William Henry & Mary Julia, but do not have any evidence of this. I think he was born in Tooting. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Any idea of WHEN he was born please?

Thanks everyone for their replies. I was actually looking for the siblings of William Marr. I have found his war papers/grave etc but I cannot seem to find any information about his siblings. I dont know what else to look for.
Thanks
Sandra

There's a tree on Ancestry with him giving mother's name as Mary Julia Danzy but not giving any siblings names.

Margaret
where on ancestry is that information? I have been looking for ages,

Sandra, on home page on Ancestry type in Mary Julia Danzy and click "search" On new page, on left side under "narrow by category" click on "Family Trees". First one is "Marr Family Tree"

You thought one of his sisters was married to a Theodore, Could it have been Theobald and could this be the marriage?

Arghhhh stil nothing on MARR!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to admit defeat, but I just can't see a link on this side of your family Sandra.......... could Marr have come from the Stewart side? It would be unusual for the wife to have a family name added to her husbands name, but not impossible.

Hi Sandra,

If you go onto ancestry and look for this in the family trees there is some info on there regarding Job Cresswells father which maybe of interest to you;

Name: Mary Julia Cresswell
Birth: Abt 1857 - Elham, Kent, England
Parents: Danzey Somerville Cresswell, Jane Hogben


The owner is;

EDIT >>>>>>>> also google Danzey Somerville Cresswell, this was Mary Julias' father.......... and also Danzey's father Sackville Cresswell of Bibury.

This looks like a VERY interesting ancestry for you to research.
