Title: Joseph Norman Williams
Post by: SBSFamilyhistory on Friday 22 May 09 16:26 BST (UK)
Joseph was the first son of my Grandfather Joseph William Williams and his wife Florence.

He was born December 1899.

His parents divorced in 1924.

I would like to discover if he married/had children etc

Hi

You will find lots of Joseph Williams marriages and without knowing who he married you would have little chance of determining the right entry.  There is no guarantee he married in Warwickshire

Marriages up to approx 1931 are indexed on the following website but thereafter they are thin on the ground

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

If you find his wife's surname - you can do a search for births with that mothers maiden name up to roughly the same year but thereafter you will need to check the full GRO index which is available at your nearest main library or by paying at www.ancestry.co.uk or www.findmypast.com

Joseph William Williams wife Florence's maiden name was Fellows, but it is relatives of their son who I am trying to find.

Hi

My reply above refers to the son - not his parents.  There are no marriages on freebmd up to 1929 for (specifically) Joseph Norman Williams

His parents married in 1898 (Aston) and there is no birth for a Joseph Norman Williams in 1899 but there is a Joseph Williams in Aston in 1899. 

There are no Joseph Norman Williams births in Warwickshire between 1899-1905

The point I was making above is that:

(a) you don't know whether he married
(b) who he married
(c) where or when he married
 
It would therefore be impossible to determine the correct marriage (if there was one) with so little info

I know that he was born 18/12/1899 as I have his birth Certificate. His father Joseph William Williams (my grandfather) married Florence Fellows 25/12/1898. Their divorce came through in Jan 1924. I am trying to find info about Joseph's children etc etc


perhaps if you were related to him you would know!

thanks
