I think that will be them as Margaret was born in 1928. Any info on how they are then connected to my family of singletons. This lady Margaret has recently died and talked a lot about my family of Singletons but I can't find the link.

I think that Tingleton has been incorrectly spelt when it was indexed by the GRO and should have been Singleton as it is on the local RO index.

Have you looked on 1881 census?

You don't make clear what you already know............

Until you say when and where William was born, no-one can begin to search...........
