Was he in the Army when he died in Israel. I can't find him on the War Graves Site.

The Ann in the 1871 and 1881 married Henry Newnham:

Marriages Sep 1868 (>99%)
Newnham Henry Docking 4b 532
Watson Ann Docking 4b 532

How are you searching on Ancestry? It is there. I think this is Thomas and Annie (from the 1881) in 1871 - the image says Newman:

Which site have you been looking at for the 1881?

Hi, I can't find any reference in the 1881 census for Morday Newham - am I doing something wrong? - help - Pat

Thanks to all, I am quite new to this, he is known as William and I have searched for birth records under both names. I am assuming the 1901 census record is his. I know he was killed in 1917 in Israel. I really need to confirm his parents names and I can't do that without birth cert. I'll check via his sister Maud and see how I get on. Thank you all so much - Pat

This could possibly be sister Maud's birth reg:
Births Jun 1878 (>99%)
Newnham Edith Maud Edmonton 3a 284

When looking for birth may be an idea to check father named Henry as they seemed to change from one to the other whenever the mood took them as I have found out with my tree

So, is this him in 1901, as William?

Have you looked for him under mother's maiden name?

Herts CC have some online records - that might be worth a try - HALS is the site it would come up under Google.

No Frank Newnham born Cheshunt or anywhere in Herts coming up on any census. How do you know his POB?

Hi, He is on the 1901 census, as living with his sister and husband, place of birth Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. On the marriage cert his Fathers profession was stone mason. - Pat

Have you found him on the census?

What was his father's occupation on the marriage cert?

Christine

Have you found him on any census?
