I believe that William's fathers name recorded on the 1912 marriage certificate is incorrect. William's father according to the 1891 census was George E Young, not William. The fathers occupation recorded on the marriage certificate as a Coastguard is however correct.

1891:
Name: William Young
Age: 2
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1889

I have sent a correction.

Fantastic thats both of them found. I have been looking for them for 2 days now. Can't believe how quick you are. Thank you very much for all your help. :)

possibly posted Alice for 1911 (at 1019) see above

Based on her place of birth in the 1891 census the 1911 census that Stuart found earlier looks promising.

Have you got the marriage certificate to see who their father's were?

There are quite a few Alice Morley's in London - she could have even been married before so the certificate would hopefully say if she was a spinster or widow?

William E Young married Alice Morley
Sep Qtr 1912 Southwark, London 1D 214

Is this William?
