Find Ancestors

Sorry I can't find him anywhere. Nor can I see him or Ada on the 1911.

thanks for all your help i will have to try and get to Kew some day i haven't got him on the 1911, also there is another william cornelius of a similer age but from a different area

Have you got him on the 1911?

The navel papers are held at Kew I think.

This link could explain why you are having problems locating his records
