I have been trying to find the marriage of WILLIAM SYMES 1894 & FRANCES LEWSLEY 1898 I know that the marrage took place at Fulham town hall on 10/1/1921 William died on 13/1/1941 but thats all I know I dont know his actual dob Please can somebody help me Thank you Rosi

What exactly do you want? You can find the marriage reference by looking in the GRO index for 1921. Similarly, William's birth will be in the birth indexes. There are quite a few on Ancestry civil reg, but without an idea where William was born I can't find the right one. nell

If you want to trace further back, you will need to buy the 1921 marriage certficate which will give father's names and occupations. This should help to trace the families on the 1901 census which will, in turn, show the place of birth for each party. From this information you should be able to get the correct birth cert(s) which will provide the mother's details. Good Luck Merry

Rosi, You will find his birth on FreeBMD. http://freebmd.rootsweb.*com/cgi/search.pl Remove the * If you use his middle name you will see there's only one match. Crista

What middle name, Crista??? Merry

WILLIAM PARVIN SYMES born Fulham June 1894, so perhaps there is only one marriage of William Parvin Symes registered. Irene

1901 census. a good possibility William P Symes abt 1894 West Kensington, London, England Son Fulham London

Christa & Irene Thank you for looking but its the wrong one (middle name) was Henry......I will send off for the marrage cert and maybe find out the address on there Hello Merry - thank you too Rosi

Rosi, That's what I meant. There's only one William Henry Symes listed for that time on FreeBMD. Take a look. I assumed you had the marriage cert because you had ages and dates. Best to order that to confirm the father. Crista

Hi Christa The only one I can find is 1884........cant find any William Henry for 1894........Am I looking in the wrong place? Rosi

Rosi I think Crista means this one Births Dec 1893 Symes William Henry Greenwich 1d 1040
