Hi Nerine,
Yes that's his birth registration,
Thanks Dee xx

Thanks EvieBeavie for looking for me, his occupation was a coalminer so I wouldn't have thought he would have travelled.
The children were born in 1894. 1895, 1897 and 1900, so I would have thought he would be around somewhere close.
Benjamin died in 1882, so I can't search that way, and Clara was with her Uncle. It just seems strange that I can't see him on both the 1891 and 1901 census.
Many thanks again, can't wait until the 1911 census, hoping he'll turn up in that (fingers crossed)!!!!!!!!
Dee xx

Meant to say -- the consistent use of his middle name/initial might indicate that he went by that middle name, i.e. could show up as George once he was an adult.
Of course, I haven't found him that way ...

What was his occupation on the marriage certificate? Any chance he was a travelling man?
The Anglo-Boer War is always a possibility for missing men of that age in 1901.
Unfortunately, it's a common name. There were a half-dozen of them in the Imperial Yeomanry:

-- one W and 3 Williams with no middle name or initial. If you think that's a real possibility, the records can be consulted at Kew. (I can recommend someone to retain if it's something you want to pursue eventually.)
Hang in there! Greater mysteries have been solved here. :)

Williams birth place changes after Emmas death, presumably his step mother didn't know, this just confuses things a little more.
Emma dies in June 1877 in Ashby De La Zouch, Robert remarries same month, year and district to M J Padmore.
Benjamin dies in 1882.
Clara is with her Uncle George in 1891 in Hugglescote, Leicestershire.
I beleive Robert dies before 1891 and I'm not sure what becomes of Mary Jane.
William George marries in 1893 at Ashby De La Zouch to Susan Horsman, they have 4 children;

Many thanks for taking the time to trawl through all my ramblings on, any help/info received would be fantastic.
Thanks again in advance, Dee x
