Hi, I am looking for a William John golsby born 4th nov 1888 (1939 war census ) Carshalton surrey. On his marriage cert it says his father is James.

With his parents names I am hoping I will then be able to find them on the free 1881 census.

Thankyou,
Anne

This is the ONLY birth for the surname and first name in the right year


GOLSBY, WILLIAM JAMES (MMN) DAY
GRO Reference: 1888 D Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 996

If his father was James, the second name makes sense


EDITED

NOT that one =- his father was William

Posting as it may be relevant.

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Alexandra House, 81, Blendon Row, Newington, St Saviour Southwark, London & Surrey, England


James Golsby Head Married Male 54 1847 Irons Moulder Rochester, Kent, England
Kate Golsby Wife Married Female 44 1857 - Walworth, Surrey, England
Kate Golsby Daughter Single Female 21 1880 - Walworth, Surrey, England
James Golsby Son Single Male 19 1882 Carman (Grain) Walworth, Surrey, England
Albert Golsby Son Single Male 17 1884 Carman (Grain) Walworth, Surrey, England
Millie Golsby Daughter - Female 14 1887 - Walworth, Surrey, England
Harry Golsby Son - Male 11 1890 - Walworth, Surrey, England


EDIT Millie is recorded as son then crossed out and dau lightly put in. The age has been moved from male to female. Could this be a mistake and the child is Willie?

Hi,

This is what I thought as that is the only birth I can find on free BMD. But on his marriage cert it says John as his middle name.

Right so I've had a look at the 1901 image and daughter Millie 1887 is actually son Willie perhaps. Son has been crossed out and dau has been added. Age has then been moved from male to female column.

Don't take the DoB on 1939 register as 'gospel'. People often got birth info wrong, and the year was the one most often misquoted. The actual DAY fits with the registration qtr

And don't ignore the FACT that James was an Iron Moulder on ALL records posted so far
