        Had a look at births and can't see anything. Could he have been born in Scotland or Ireland?

              Hello Julie and welcome to Family Tree Forum,

              I have had to edit your post as we do not permit details of living people to be posted, if you can confirm that the wife has died then, you can reinstate it.

              if however she is still living then anyone who would like to help can do so via PM (private message)

                I wonder if he could have been adopted or if the name has just been mistranscribed.
                I have searched from 1915--1930 & there are a couple of Wincott families in Banbury, one starting from 1922 with mmn of Jackson but there is no Stuart or Gerald or William b Banbury!
                Sorry can't help but welcome to FTF

                  it might be that Stuart was born out of wedlock and therefore was registered with his mothers name.

                    Good idea Julie, not one under Jackson, off to try another name

                    Nope, the other maiden name in that time frame was Read & he's not there either, must be another area.

                        Have you tried to look at christening records? I have found one person who was given an additional forename when she was christened and used that name for the marriage certificate.

                                  oky doky here is my family tree that is causing me such a headache
                                  starting with hubby and his mum which i cannot give names of
                                  grandmas father was leonard charles wincott born 22/10/04 died 9/6/46
                                  his dad william george wincott born 13/9/1874 died 23/5/1951
                                  all born in banbury
                                  his dad william wincott born butlers marston 25/1/1849 died 21/10/1928

                                  hubbys grandad leonard charles had a brother william earnest wincote and on his death certificate his son STUART GERALD WINCOTT was the informant
                                  heres the twist - according to family members none of the brothers married except leonard so this was a big surprise.
                                  after searching we think we found his marrage and his death in 2005 and he was born in 1921. BUT after extensive searches on the net we cannot find his birth certificate nothing similar at all and we really need to know his mothers name.
                                  is there any oe who can hlep please? thank you julie

                                    ok, I see that he died in Rutland, (stuart that is) Do you have Stuarts father & family on the 1911 census?

                                        aha! that confirms that the family I have found in the 1901 cens is the right one.

                                        so as far as you know, only Leonard had married, but now you find that William had a son too? have you looked for any other marriages? Albert and Wilfred?

                                        (sorry about going over the ground, I just want to get it clear in my head )
