I am trying to help a friend with his tree but I have come to a point that I can't see any way backwards. Is it an impossible dead end?
I am trying to find the parents of William John Burnett. His death in Jan-March 1945 Uxbridge gives age as 57 (so born circa 1887 early 1888) . He married Sarah Sawyer on Oct 3rd 1909 in Walworth, he gives age as 23 (so born c 1886) a batchelor - Carman - He states father is William Burnett a deceased Carman. I found a possible in 1911. It was transcribed as William G (but it looks like a J to me) aged 25/26, not quite clear. It states married 2 years which would fit. If it is him it says born Surrey - Camberwell. I can't find a matching birth though and I don't have any information about possible siblings. So no birth cert to send for. I have found a few possibles, including one in Scotland but no proof.
Is there anywhere I can go from here please?
