yes possibly potty as that is what i thought earlier

Stephanie, I think you need to get the marriage cert to confirm their ages and father's names. It is very easy to go down the wrong line.

Shirley that death in 1949 was William James according to the probate leaving a widow Emily Jane, so probably the wrong death.

Possibly born a little later than you thought??

i have the the deaths as posts from above which gave me the estimated dates of birth jessie has no middle name so deaeth dates and certainly a fair match for william
thanks guys

shortening names and using them on certs isnt unusual.

My paternal gran was Emma Ann. Her 2nd hubby used to call her Annie and when he registered two of their children s births he put her name as Annie cos thats what he called her ..

Info on certs is only as the informant knows

Given his initials - this looks like a fair match to me??

Do you 'really' have any proof that he was born c 1887 ???

that is the marriage i found also shirley so the birth certificate of eric wigmore was born in 1932 guildford only states jessie wigmore(formerly sibley) and william john wigmore
is it normal to shorten names like this as i have never come across it before?

Free bmd shows the birth of the Surrey child in 1919 with 3 probable siblings later in Oxfordshire and then 3 more in Surrey
