We are trying to find a William Percy Stephen Mills, We don't no when he died or when he was born, we know
he died before 1927 with consumption, He had a son called Albert Edward Mills who was born around feb 1907, He also had a sibling brother called William Mills but we dont have any more information on him.
We think he is from the Kensington area in London. We also think his wife is called Alice Mills.
Any help would be great as we are really stuck
Thanx

The first entry is a birth registration, which was in the Fulham district in the first three months of 1906

I dont think this is the right william percy stephen mills as we have a marrage certificate for Albert Edward Mills For july 1927 and on the certificate it says Father deceased. Is this any help

Julie

Julie Report 27 Jan 2010 17:01

That might be Alberts Brother William that LiverBird has put up

We have a number for the Birth of Albert Edward Mills Which is 1b 88 but what we want to know is when his farther William Percy Stephen Mills was Born And when he died,

Julie

Julie Report 27 Jan 2010 17:07

We'd all like to jump from one person to another but it don't work like that cos you can end up with the wrong info


If you know that Albert had a brother called William then the one that has been added could be the brother who has the same name as their Dad.....your best bet would be to buy that cert to get their Mums name then you can look for a marriage

Sue

Sue Report 27 Jan 2010 17:11

The only person we are looking for is William Percy stephen mills his date of birth.. Thanx anyway

Freewheel

Freewheel Report 27 Jan 2010 17:11

Is this the birth to which you refer?

Births Mar 1907 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mills Albert Edward Pancras 1b 88


Until you get the cert, you can't be sure that it is the person who married in 1927.

How old was Albert on his wedding day?

Who were the witnesses?

Freewheel

Freewheel Report 27 Jan 2010 17:12

In that case, Sue, you need to look for it on freebmd................

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/

ALL the other info you posted is completely irrelevant............

Julie

Julie Report 27 Jan 2010 17:13

Yes but you need other bits to help find him

You said you are new & all we are trying to do is help...but if you are not willing to take that help then there is no more any of us can do

Sue

Sue Report 27 Jan 2010 17:15

Albert Edward Mills Was 20 when he got married to Dorothy Emily Curtis who was also 20.... We have the certificate in our hands and it says the witness where A E Carter And a Maud Ward.
In another box on the certificate it says Father decessed William percy stephen Mills.
