The Whitham Family Tree on ancestry ......... which seems to be Karen's own tree .............. shows the following as William's parents



Charles Meller Whitham
1857 – 1901

Emily Critchley
1860 –




AND a whole lot of information on William's travels, presumably as a seaman.

Potty Report 8 Oct 2014 12:09

The Bell Family Tree on Ancestry has a date of 2nd October 1923 for the marriage, so, presumably, the owner must have or have seen the marriage cert but, oddly, there is no father entered for either William or Elizabeth. It might be worth contacting the owner.

Karen Report 8 Oct 2014 03:15

I am trying to locate my grandfathers birth certificate to find out his parents names. I think I have looked at every Whitham in the UK with a birth date of 1899. I have found his marriage certificate and his date of death at sea in 1935. Any suggestions please. He was born in Salford Lancashire in 1899 :-D
