  • Another Plea for help!

    I am helping a friend try to look into his Dads side of the Family, but i have not got very far and i am stuck :( why did i say i would help ?? lol

    Anyway here is what i know and hopefully someone out there will be able to fill in some blanks.

    Ann Webster Married Derek William Willis. They got married in 1965 in Nottingham and i have today applied for their marriage certificate. in the mean time i have been trying to find the Birth of Derek William Willis.

    I know Derek's mother was called May we do not know her surname.

    To make it more difficult we are not sure of Dereks fathers name, it may be a long shot but while i am waiting for the marriage certificate which i am hoping will tell me more i want to try and find the following

    Dereks Date of Birth, His fathers Name and Mothers Maiden Name.

    I have looked on Free BMD for various different things eg a Willis that married a May, i have then looked at those results to see if that marriage resulted in any children called D W Willis but no joy.

    I also searched under Willis being the mothers maiden name with no father and still nothing....

    Can anyone help or am i just going to have to be patient and wait for this certificate to arrive??

    Thanks
    Suzie

    Can you confirm that all the people you have mentioned are now deceased as we do not allow details of living people on the forum.

          When did Derek William Willis die? his death record should show his date of birth which you could then use a check point in the index to find his registration.

                Can't see anything that will help - I think you'll have to wait for the marriage cert :(

                    It's annoying though as you may not be any further forward when you get it as it is too late for censuses to help and not seeing anything in the birth index is puzzling.

                    Do you know a rough year of birth? what about the death cert?
