Find Ancestors

Thanks thats very helpful . Date of birth came from Famiysearch.org which also gave his christening date and parents.
The 1890 birth for William was the wrong one I had originally and sent me down the wrong path.

The 1911 census says that Annie had been married 28 years, with 9 live births, of who 3 had died. So assuming they did marry, it would be about 1883

Was the dob from the death certificate?

Possibly his birth?

See here for areas covered by the reg district of Barton Regis

It includes several areas which became part of North Bristol

Yes sorry ...Both fathers deceased. William's family obviously named two children William!! Thanks for all help so far. I have been unable to find a marriage for Thomas Allen and Annie so had wondered if they were born outside Bristol.

possibly Alice -

Were any Allen's witnesses on the MC? A sibling perhaps?

If it helps - Census dates

Sunday 31st March 1901
Sunday 2nd April 1911

So he'd still be 9 on the 1901 census date, and 19 on the 1911 one.

Is Williams father deceased on the marriage cert ?

The 1911 census posted has Annie as a widow .

from the 1911 census, he would have been 23 in 1915 ?

On Marriage cert William was a private in the light infantry. Alice was living in Newfoundland Rd. Her deceased father' was a bootmaker.

Oh thats confusing! William George was 23 when he married in 1915.
I have Williams birth as 27/7/1891.
