Find Ancestors

Get a copy of the marriage cert to find out how old he was - what his second forename was - and his father's name If he knew his father, that is.

Possible going by his middle initial. This is just a possible.

Where have you looked for his birth?

There are lots of Harold C Williams-es born in possible years, in many places.

Have you any proof he came from Gloucestershire? Maybe he was born somewhere else.

You need to buy the 1922 marriage cert, to find out his father's name, and Harold's age, and what the middle initial stood for.

[EDIT: Oops, I see Erika has already advised that. ]


If the death Erika posted is the right one, and if he was born in Gloucestershire, there's this birth:

Births Mar 1901 (>99%)
Williams Harold Conrad Chepstow 11a 10

[ Oops again - Alviegal suggested this person per the 1911 census .]

Births Mar 1901 (>99%)
Williams Harold Conrad Chepstow 11a 10


WILLIAMS, HAROLD CONRAD BRAIN
GRO Reference: 1901 M Quarter in CHEPSTOW Volume 11A Page 10

Possibly not the right one, if a tree on Ancestry is to be believed.

That one didn't marry

As you are only trying to prove some tenuous connection to someone met on holiday, I doubt you'll be spending money on certs

The marriage would have taken place in Gloucestershire because that was the bride's home.

Anyway, I thought it was the 'Young' connection you were looking to establish............

If the 1911 census posted by Alviegal is correct, there is this sibling:

WILLIAMS, BERNIE SPURGEON mms BRAIN
