Hi James
Thanks for your reply
I have been looking for William for a number of years. I have searched the 1881 & 1891 census and the WW1 army records on Ancestry (page at a time) for a match. I have also searched the family trees on Ancestry & Genes Reunited. My next move will be to upgrade my Ancestry membership to access London Parish Record. I have thought about birth Cert. but would need to apply for most of them.
The info I have is:-
1901 census he was 21 from St Luke, London
1911 census he was 32 from Whitechapel, London
12/11/1899 was 22 married Agnes Starling living in Whitechapel, his father was George Dennis, both witnesses were Starlings
To add more confusion family folk law says he came from Tipperary, Ireland. I have also looked at all I can find on the internet for Ireland with no luck.
The nearest match I can get is in the 1891 census a George Dennis with a son William Sweetman with the correct age and birth location, George married a Martha Sweetman in 1886, so he may have taken the Dennis name?
I will keep on looking.
Thanks Again
James
