I have been trying to find information about my great granddad Albert Herbert Wilson he was born 1866 in nottingham, on his wedding certificate his fathers name was Thomas wilson. I don't think that he was registered and cannot find a baptism/christening for him. I have been looking for a long time and hope someone might be able to help me.
