Hi Pen and Reg, thanks so much for looking , it could have been 1900. On the death cert it states.died 5th December 1961 age 60 years, I believe his mothers name was Maryann maiden name King (although that could be wrong) and he had brothers younger than himself (all dead) and one sister called Maryann also, can you enlighten me anymore please, much appreciated Mary

Hi me again, according to my mother he was born September 23rd 1901 (they never married) any help? Maryann

if his parents were not married we should be looking for a King then.

ancestry will not come up with the relevant pages.

Hi Pen, thanks for getting back to me, does that mean we have come to a dead end? Maryann x

Pen, I'm getting in a muddle, his parents were married but he never married my mother!!

I took the wording of your previous message to mean that his parents were not married... I shall look again and email you tommorow.

This marriage is on there.

Hi Pen, sorry about the confusion, the marriage dates and names look exciting, that could possibly account for the year difference in his birth, what do you think? hope to hear from you tomorrow, many thanks Maryann x

Hi Maryann, I think the birth entry in 1900 is going to turn out to be his, lol. There is'nt one for Sept, and Dec Qrts 1901 nor for 1902 March. Perhaps they told a tiny fib and married after he was born. I will try again the 1901 I will see if I can spot a William King born 1900 with mother Mary Ann. x ***UPDATE nothing on the 1901 for a William King with Mary Ann for a mother, I think your gonna need that birth cert and or marriage cert.

Hi Pen, thanks again for looking......how do I get to see the birth cert for 1900 as I have a feeling it's the one, I would appreciate any help you can give me (you must hear that all the time) I have been trying to find his birth cert since 2004...........lol.....Maryann x

Hi Pen, I have a marriage cert (not sure if it's the right one) for a William Maggs and a Maryann King............married 6th April 1901 in Bristol, they were both living at 3 New Street, St. Judes, Bristol, William was 21 and Maryann was 20 does that help us........Maryann x
