Hmm well I've just looked for a death for the William that died in 1950.  There appears to be only one in the West Bromwich registration district and he was 25 when he died.

Where did you get the 1903 birth year from?

Where were both of your potential Williams living at the time they died?  Do you know what the E stands for?

If they were both born and died in Australia you would do better to get this topic moved to the Australia board.

If you click on the Report to Moderator in blue on the bottom right hand side, you can then ask for this topic to be moved to the Australia board.  You are much more likely to get a better response on there.

Hi Rhys, I think we have worked on this family before, yes.

You need to start using the Australia board as it's easier for us to see your posts there.

I've asked for the moderator to move it.

Jamjar.

You need to remove the name of the child you say was born to Ellen as they may still be living, unless you can provide proof that they are deceased.

They aren't related or the same:

RICHARDS  WILLIAM EDWARD 20080/1950 father William and mother Esther at Belmont

RICHARDS  WILLIAM ERNEST 103643/1977 father William Ernest and mother Mary Ellen

Possible brother of William Ernest, death:

Thomas Phillis ( possibly should be Phillip) Richards 107457/1984 father William and mother Mary

She died 26 sep 1996

May I suggest that you do not assume that what you find on other folk's online trees to be correct unless you have cited actual certificates.

Your proof that she is deceased has come from where, Rhys?
