William (Senior) born Parish of St Pauls, Devonport, Devonshire

Thank you all and sorry if I caused any irritation.

Try using search engines.

Looking for St Paul’s in Devon gives St Paul’s in Stonehouse - a good place to start.

You have other options……explore them

But it doesn't say where St Paul's is.

He says in 1939 that he was born 3rd AUGUST.....not 8th March

Jack and Joan are not on the 1921 census

1911 includes naval personnel….but if you don’t know PoB, how can you be sure he isn’t recorded in that year or in 1901?

Look for his birth registration on freebmd

1921 census states ‘Parish of St Paul’s’ to be birthplace

Get copy marriage certificate to see if he knew his father’s name

Hi.

The above was born on 8 March 1878 and is shown in the 1921 census with children William Matthew Mitchell, Stanley K, Edith L, Jack and Joan I.

The area is East Stonehouse, Devon.

He is also in the 1939 register but not in 1901 or 1911 census as I suspect he is serving in the Royal Navy.

Can anyone find a place of birth? No luck I 1881 or 1891 census I'm afraid.

Thank you
