I am trying to find out information on a William Nielson or Nielsen who died in Plymouth Devon around 1926 aged 32. Sketchy information I have is that the family came from Norway. I have tried searching the census online for 1901 and his name does not appear. Does anyone have any idea where I need to look |

I dont have her birth certificate. William did marry because he had a son and 4 or 5 daughters all of which are now deceased.We believe his wife was called Ellen again no records to prove or disprove unfortunately |

if children were born in England do you have any of their dates of birth. May then give mothers maiden name on the birth index |

This is Frances birth, registered during Jan,Feb, March 1918, Mothers maiden name is Berryman so the marriage I found for you in 1899 is correct. I recommend you get the marriage certificate which will give you Williams fathers name,. |
