His birthplace will be on the death cert..................as known to the informant, whose knowledge you would have to hope was accurate

Look for a birth in OND 1920

He could, of course, have been born somewhere other than England/Wales

Welcome to the boards, N.

No help in identifying William, I'm afraid, but did notice Barbara's death, so thought I would just post it!
Haven't found Gloucester to be any help in tracing anything about William so far.

Deaths Dec 1969 (>99%)
WILSON Barbara Joyce 15No1924 Gloucester C 7b 1111

I was wondering if anyone could help me locate the mother and any siblings of William George Wilson?
On his marriage certificate to Barbara Joyce Miller in Heavitree February 1946, he is listed as being 25, living in Heavitree working as an A.B for Royal Navy and was the son of William Wilson, retired R.N.
I tried searching for birth records but there are so many Williams that were born then and i dont know where he was born (i thought in devon but when searching none crop up in devon) ive tried searching family trees online, navy records and electoral rolls for his address listed on the marriage certificate but no joy...

could anyone help point me in the right direction?


Any help would be muchly appreciated x
