I am trying to ascertain who William married, if he had children and when/where he died. It appears that there were two people by this name born in 1886, one of who married an Ann Smith. Is there a marriage record available that would show parents names? William is the brother of my great grandfather John Francis Giffard who immigrated to Tasmania, Australia and is the only sibling in this family who I have lost. Any help appreciated.

There is a tree on Ancestry for William Alfred. There is also one for a Mary Ethel born 1914 who may or may not be the other surviving child,
William Henry's naval record is also on Ancestry.
