Hello, I want to establish who the parents of Jesse Williams and Jean Gooder are.
Jesse Williams was born 1922, Stafford area, mother's maiden name Watson.

I have no details for Jean Gooder other than she married Jesse late in 1945 or early in '46.

I seem to get a bit stuck with research when I can't cross reference with census info' !

Researching:
Siggs of Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and West London, Wise of North Hampshire, Wiltshire and North London and Aubrey/Whiting of South Wales/Herefordshire.

Start by obtaining the marriage certificate.

This should give you their father's names.
It will also establish Jean's age and whether or not she was married before.

Possibly. His descendants live in the Hampshire area. I'll look into it, thank you.
