Please could somebody kindly do me a look up for a Edward Wilson born 1913/14
I have his marriage certificate as 5th march 1938 married to a Nina Amelia Clark living at
7 back 46
Clifton Road
Balsall Heath
Birmingham
His father is enterd as Edward Wilson also - wage clerk.
edward is entered as 24 years old...so possibly 1913/14
all i have is Edward's children.....Ted 1938, Joan 1939, Fred and Ron
another address from the 1940's is 66 Colesmeadow RD Billsely Birmingham....i was hoping for a middle name to make this search easier but unfortuately he hasn't
a possible brother Sid/Sidney

hope somebody can help
many thanks

Assuming he was born in the Birmingham area, this is the only birth that comes up on freebmd:

Births Mar 1914 (>99%)
WILSON Edward Bickerton Aston 6d 811

You could order the birth cert, giving father's name as a checking point. That way if the father's name is not correct, they won't send the cert but will refund part of the cost.

marriage
Edward Wilson 1913 Apr-May-Jun Bickerton Aston (1837-1924) Warwickshire

Sidney's birth?

Births Jun 1916 (97%)
Wilson Sidney F Bickerton Aston 6d 764

Hi Potty,
Many thanks for this look up, i know it's a hard name to search....and was hoping for more clues on the marriage certificate, so look like another certificate,
i just wish i had some more info on this man to make it easier
thanks again
kind regards
angela

The other half of the marriage Jim found:

Marriages Jun 1913 (>99%)

Bickerton Maude E Wilson Aston 6d 641

Wow, thankyou this looks good!

Thankyou very much...Maude Bickerton looks to be the one as my mother in law thought her granny was called Maude and grandad Edward but wasn't sure

There is a Edward Wison born 1880 on the 1901 census i wondered if anybody would kindly look up up for me please living at balsall Heath Birmingham i wondered if this is the father or maybe Anita is right

Nearest I can find for Maude in 1901 (E could be for Elizabeth shortened to Lizzie?):

I think you need to get the marriage cert, Angela to confirm father's name.

If the Edward b. 1863 is Edward jnr's father .. He'd be 50 by the time of Edward's (1913) birth.. But then again, in those days.. ?

Edward's occupation was Numeracy (agent) collecter..

Edit: Numeracy? What am I thinking? Its insurance (agent) collecter lol

Thankyou very much Potty for trying to find Maude...i wonder if this is her

I think Edward's occupation was Insurance (agent) collector.

It looks like quite an extended family. Harriet is a widow; Dudley Hands is her uncle; Eliza her neice and Jno Smith her cousin.

Address is 283 Balsall Heath Road,

Hi Traci....this looks like a good possibility as Edward Senior is listed as a Wage clerk on young Edwards marriage certificate to Nina
thankyou i'm swayed towards this one...i tke it harriet is his mother...but please could you tell me about the rest are they the owers and Harriet and edward lodgers?
many thanks
angela

Thankyous again Potty i was just wondering about the others...this is good as it means harriet's maiden name would be - hands

Harriett Wilson 43 Head Birmingham Widowed
Dudley Hands 52 Uncle, Birmingham Widowled
Edward Wilson 21 Son Birmingham
Eliza Hands 9 Niece Birmingham
Jno W Smith 36 Cousin Birmingham

Thanks Traci.......Harriet must have been a Smith not a Hands before marriage then
this is great
