Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help with Leopold Williams I have him married to Ivy ML Young apparently he was born in C1880 not sure where, he married Ivy in Godstone.
Interested in his family and where he came from one posible is Wandworth.
we dont know much about him as everybody in family have all passed away .
Looking forward to hearing if anybody can or knows anything about this man.
Thanks Val

Leopold Joseph Williams born Dec qtr 1880 Wandsworth 1d 627

Problem - Leopold Joseph Williams died Dec 1883 aged 3 Wandsworth :P
-
On Rootsweb free BMD'S it is only showing a birth and death of this person, no marriage and at the moment and no sign on 1881.
Any other info would be useful

I don't know if this helps but there is a family of Williams living in Battersea on 1881 census on familysearch.org it comes under Westminster, Battersea is not far from Wandsworth.
as follows
10 Doddington Gr Battersea RG11/0649 FOLIO 12 PAGE 20
Susannah Williams head marr aged 35 born Deal Kent
Robert J son single 15 New Kent Road
Jessica 13 Westminster
Alice 11 Westminster

We know the Leopold m1914 is not the Leopold b1880 Wandsworth.
1 Leopold on 1891 and 1901 census living Hackney b1888/89
8 further Leopolds on 1901 census including:
Living Greenwich b1872
Paddington b1873
Bootle b1884
Bristol b1885
Crowhurst b1886
Cheltenham b1899
other 2 too young to marry in 1914.
Fathers name from marriage cert. would help narrow down/exclude these.

I have been trying to find Susannah and family on 1871 with no luck at all, although she has a host of children on 1881 they may not all be her's although there is a marriage in Wandsworth William Williams to a Susannah Bingham 1867, just a thought.
I am sure a cert would help

Hi
I have now come to the conclusion it could be Crowhurst as i believe this is surrey I know there is one in Sussex as well We know he married a young app she was always called Lou I notice Ivy middle name is Lou!!
Also she came from Godstone.
We also knew Leopold was an Architect in later life and they had 3/4 boys and a girl.
Danel transcribed wrong on his birth cert Danel was my father in law.Although not seen his birth cert I was given this info, Tim, Ted, and June could be another boy.
My subscription has expired on Ancestry is it possible someone could look at the one from Crowhurst 1901 please.
I am grateful for all the help on this thread

You don't need a sub to look at indexes.
The one in Crowhurst 1901 is from Shropshire and is Leopold James Williams; He is "attending school"

When you have the marriage certificate then we should be able to help further.
Reference has been given previously.
You may also wish to take a chance on this being the correct registration for his birth.

Thanks
I will order the Williams - Young marriage cert and see what we get from that.
I have also just been informed there is one person still alive that can recall him and that is his Daughter in Law now in 80's
I will maybe get some info from her.
