hi

have been trying to find my great grandfather William John Whitehead. He was born in c1882. I have his marriage cert to a Elizabeth Wolsoncroft, they married in 1908 in Bethnal Green London and there witnesses are Elizabeths farther Thomas A Wolsoncroft and a lady called Caroline Whitehead. I have found Williams death cert index in 1936 Shoreditch London.

Elizabeth and William had 17 children I have found about 15 of them. Starting in 1908?-1932.

Mary 1908
Elizabeth (Liz) 1909
Tommy(Thomas A) 1911
Susanha Florence 1913 (my nan)
Ette (Esther) 1919
Charlie (Charles A) 1921
Henry J 1922
Billy (john W) 1924
Albert 1925
Louisa F (Lou Lou) 1926
Georgie (George) 1927
Johnny (John A) 1929
Ernie 1931
Joseph & Stanley Twins born/died 1932

What I am actually asking is when and where was William born and who was Caroline in relation to William. Williams Father was also called William, who was a rag merchant. William had a sister whos nickname were Riah.

Please Help Me as I have stone walled and cannot go any further with the Whiteheads.
