Trying to trace the birth of my grandfather, William Wilkes. I think he was born in Bradeley, Staffs. between 1868 and 1872. He married Selina Preece on 29th January 1893 in Broseley, Shropshire, on the marriage certificate no father's name is given, the only thing it says is 'natural child'. From this I assume he was perhaps illegitimate. I know he moved to Hyde, Cheshire sometime between 1910 and 1917 along with his wife and children. He died in July 1926 and is buried in Hyde, Cheshire. Can anyone help please or give me any idea where I might go from here. My married name is Taylor. |
