William Vernon born 1866 in Twickenham, Middlesex, married my gr.grandmother Letitia Gladwin at Lewisham in 1895.They had children Letitia Florence 1896, William 1898--1917, died Belgium , Flanders, Victoria May 1901 and Jessie 1904, my grandmother. All the children were born in Catford, kent. Does anyone know of Williams parents and did he have any siblings. I have a lot of the Gladwin family but nothing on the Vernons, can anyone help please.

Marriages Dec 1895
Gladwin Letitia Lewisham 1d 1824
Vernon William Lewisham 1d 182


The marriage certificate will record Williams fathers name & occupation which shall make it easier to trace him on the census details

Thanks Lisa, didnt know William was married before letitia gladwin. Got all the details on the gladwins, but cant find anything on the Vernons or who William's parents or siblings were. Thanks again for finding what you did. Julie
