Hi Nick

Surely he didn't marry at age 9  ;D  ;D  ;D

Are you looking for forward or backward information?

Using the Staffordshire BMD Index' it seems Florence was also by the name WILSON - perhaps previously married

Correction to William Bossons - not 1905 but I am unsure of the year of birth

as for if i amgoing backwards or forwards - either way - pref. backwards.

maybe not a bad idea to send for the marr.cert.
it should give you his fathers name and occ.
you could then work backwards through the censuses
if you do not have the marr details here they are,
name william bossons.
spouse florence stone
y.o.r. 1914.
qtr. oct/nov/dec.
dist. wolstanton.
county. staffordshire.
vol. 6b.
page. 256.
cattell,alcester
vickers,sulgrave
hewish,holborn
manley,bethnal green
barnes,bassingbourn

Hmmm...
Marriage Sept. Q. 1905 / Florence Wilson
with a Herbert Charles Stone on page
W. Ham  vol.4a  p.557        

but also a marriage March Q. 1907
Florence Maud Wilson
Edwin William Stone  on page
Southwark Vol.1d  p.199

Several but no really defined deaths for either of these names to figure out which is the correct spouse...J.J.

Hi Nick

If do you still have Ancestry access?

There is another tree besides your one,
It says William BOSSONS was born 1880 Stoke on Trent and Florence WILSON was born 1875 Longton Staffs to John WILSON & Hannah CLARK, and she was first married to Edwin Uriah STONE in 1897 who deid 1908. ........The marriage to Stone is on FREEBMD under Stoke on Trent RD. the tree has the wrong year  of marriage to William, it says  1911 at St Margarets Wolstanton.
