I wonder if a fresh set of eyes could help find the birth of William John Jones born 2 june 1883 he states on the 1939 register,

1911 census says St Lukes his name down as William Thomas but that is him as with the right wife and address, carman army pensioner
What I know married Elizabeth Maud French 1903 st Stephens Haggerston London
father George Jones a porter

found on freebmd 1883 2 William John Jones born june qt 1 at Poplar and one at Islington.
found a William John Jones with a step father on 1891 and 1901 have ruled him out as he was a engineer,
have tried army records no luck.
hope this makes sense he died 1946.

thanks Ann

Mary Report 11 Apr 2016 08:09

On the 1891 census all the ages are wrong,but they appear to be the same family.So therefore I don't think William would have been born in 1887.
Shame I can't find a baptism for him.

Back to Emily Celia Jones and her marriage to Daniel William Dutton,,could you compare signature of Emily on it to the one on William and Elizabeth Maud French record.
