My mum has told me William had a son, but she dosn't know when he was born

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 15 Sep 2012 15:05

If you knew he had a son Arthur then it would have been helpful if you'd said at the beginning. Do you know when Arthur was born?

There are very strict privacy rules in Canada so it's very difficult to find births which are less than 100 years old.

You should really include Canada in your title so that hopefully our Canadian experts will spot your request. Just go to your first post on this thread and click "edit" - you can then get back to the title to amend it.
