And "the early 1900s" can mean different things to different people. If he died in 1949, did it mean the 1940s? ;)

We foreigners also like nice standard terms. His death record would state his age. But probably a few dozen David Williams-s died in 1949, and I have no idea what "on the Wirral" would look like in the deaths index. Someplace in Lancashire ... ?

But what the heck ... I have work to do, and we have one fact:

Name: Margaret Williams
Spouse : Joseph F Tudor
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1938
Registration district: Crosby
Registration county (inferred): Merseyside
Volume Number: 8b
Page Number: 1157


So this probably means that David married after the 1911 census, the last one available. If we know when he lived in Liverpool, we can still try.

There's no David Williams death 1947-1951 in Merseyside.

When did he marry and to who?What is his fathers name and occupation on the marriage cert and are the witnesses any of the Williams family?

My Grandfather was David Williams. He lived in Liverpool in the early 1900s, He had two daughters? Margaret(Peggy) and Dorothy. We think he may be from Castletown IOM where he had relatives. Margaret his daughter married Joseph Tudor and lived on the Wirral. David died on the Wirral in 1949, can anybody help?
