Fear not fellow searchers. This is not a query. It's a piece of history - about the Williams family from Willenhall.

Easy-peasy.

Christopher - you have to be far more specific - we need a location and some relevant dates here - we don't know where Slater Street is

to reply, don't send messages, it's best to use the purple reply box by your heading - click on that and it will open a reply box for you to submit

Christopher.

You need to go to www.freebmd.rootsweb.com

It's a free site and easy to use. You'll find births, marriages and deaths there. Just the notes of the events - not much detail at all.

This is Gwendoline's birth record:

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Williams Gwendoline Taylor Wolverhampton 6b 1345


This is Mary's birth record - plus a few other Williams births who have mother's with maiden names of Taylor:

Births Jun 1923 (>99%)
Williams Mary Taylor Wolverhampton 6b 1068 Scan available - click to view
Births Mar 1926 (>99%)
Williams Joan Taylor Wolverhampton 6b 989 Scan available - click to view
Births Sep 1926 (>99%)
Williams William G Taylor Wolverhampton 6b 893 Scan available - click to view
Births Sep 1930 (>99%)
Williams Alfred G Taylor Wolverhampton 6b 959 Scan available - click to view



One or two of these might be other siblings. They won't all be siblings - of Gwendoline or each other - as it's unlikely from this list that Joan and William are siblings. (Possible but unlikely).

The details that you get from FreeBMD you use to order certificates.

Go to the General Register Office (GRO). You can order certs on line. Never pay more than £7.00.

From Ancestry this time.

Possible marriage of Albert and Emily. (There don't seem to be any other Albert Williams' marrying Emily Taylors around this time in this area so it seems a pretty good match):

Emily Taylor
Spouse Surname: Williams
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1919
Registration district: Wolverhampton
Registration county (inferred): Staffordshire
Volume Number: 6b
Page Number: 1442
Find Spouse: Find Spouse

Alfred Williams
Spouse Surname: Taylor
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1919
Registration district: Wolverhampton
Registration county (inferred): Staffordshire
Volume Number: 6b
Page Number: 1442
Find Spouse: Find Spouse

The marriage cert would show their ages, and their fathers' names which will then help you track down their respective families in the 1911 census and backwards from there.
