For location - vital - is this the birth?


Births Dec 1911 (>99%)
Hull William Hull Prescot 8b 1534

If so, won't be on 1911 census

Do you have the cert?

If so, what was his exact DOB?

Pauline is your mother still living to tell you any more about him? I can see from your birth reg that it is in more than one name.

Caution advised as any family of this man may not be aware though he is almost certainly deceased. There are at 3 William Hulls born 1911 on 1939 register, and that of course excludes any serving in military.

This is a guess, as it does not tie in with the date of birth ( I wonder if that was not known by the informant?) but it does rather tie in with Pauline's birthplace , after her birth

Deaths Sep 1966 (>99%)

HULL WILLIAM H 60 ENFIELD 5B 248

Might be worth looking at if only to eliminate?

Rose, you have to click along to later pages , after the page with the G surnames.

But there's no probate for him in 1965-67.

Probate isn't always required, especially if the estate is small.
