I am completely stuck on this , - & so any help welcomed!
My Grandfather, William James Wilson was born in Manchester, Lancs. in (Approx) 1860/'61.
He married my Grandmother Margaret Rees in Swansea in June 1893. On the Marriage Cert he says that he is 32yrs, a House Painter, father's name William Wilson (deceased) Occupation, Mason.
On the 1901 Census for Wales he & Margaret are living at 113 St Helens Road, Swansea with four of their six sons. He gives his age as 40yrs, place of birth, Manchester, Lancs.
My problem is that I am unable to find a definate Birth Entry for him, & I can't find him on any of the various Censuses for England:-(
I thought for a while that he was the William James Wilson born in Kirkby Ireleth, Lancs in 1860, but the 1911 Census shows this one still single & living at home, - & so it is definately not him!
The 1911 for Glamorgan is not yet available, but I'm not expecting too much from it...
Can anyone on here see anything that I might be missing??
Cheers, Holly.
