Find Ancestors

trying to find information on william walter johnson born 1906 married alice pedley ( she died in the late 1930's). william died in 1984 in old colwyn, clwyd area north wales. any more information will help alot in the search of the lost history of the family.

thanks.

where was he born?

Do you have his marriage cert, to give his father's name?

He married Alice Pedly in Stoke on Trent in 1926, so this looks like a likely birth:

Births Dec 1906 (>99%)
Johnson William Walter Stoke T. 6b 271

Ben, you need to buy his birth cert. This will give his parent's names and then you can look for the family in the 1911 census to find out when and where his parents were born.

Have you tried looking for info yourself?
