P.S. - Image does not show Charlie as being born in Birmingham - It says Nottingham (crossed through) and then dittoed for Notts with his mother above.

Thank you

Was hoping there would be a grandchild on there from Williams 1st marriage, trying to work out if this is my WILLIAM

Is it likely that he would not have used his middle name on his 1st marriage cert but used it on his 2nd????

The only death i can find that fits right age states WILLIAM GEORGE FENTON which would tie in with 2nd marriage to SELINA, but his 1st marriage to ELIZA GRIFFIN 1873 has no middle name, also only WILLIAM GEORGE FENTON birth i can find is not in NOTTINGHAM but on census he states born in NOTTINGHAM

I know 1st marriahe is right, just unsure on the rest
ANY HELP PLEASE

There are quite a few grandchildren, was just hoping 1 may be with them to confirm that it was the same WILLIAM

ELIZA FENTON died in 1890 in NOTTINGHAM

I have WILLIAM with his 3 children in 1891, but in 1901 his children are living but no parents, there has been a transcript error on this census as it staes them living with a samual england, eliza england and their children, but when you look at image it is a different household, but it doesnt have a head person stated all down a
as son's and daug

hope this helps

Claire Report 26 Oct 2011 18:01

hi, thank you for all your help

MAUD FENTON WILSON, was born about 1900 in NOTTINGHAM 7yrs before her mother MAUD FENTON married THOMAS WILSON, so im assuming she is only MAUDS and Thomas took her on as his
