Hi Caz,

Thanks so much for your help, to be honest l`m not sure if this is my William?, on the 1901 census William gives his place of birth as Shoreditch, London!, l know it`s not unusual for people to give different places of birth on different census.
Also William married Emma Jenner in 1893 in Croydon and William was a decorator!!, it`s all very confusing and l`m going on.

Thanks again for your help. ;D

Hi Robert.

The only other ones that are close to his Birth year are :

William Giles c1877, Thames Ditton, Surrey.
Parents : John & Jane
Job : Labourer.

William Giles c1870, Felday, Surrey.
Parents : William & Jane
Job : Gardener (i think)


So if he was a Decorator by the time he married, that does sort of tie in with the cenus details i gave you earlier.....his father on that being a House Decorator.

Hi again Caz,

This obviously needs checking out, as you said the fact of the locality and the occupation does suggest that this is my William.

Thanks again for ALL your help :-*
