William Smith Clark

[jacqlineue]

25th June 1908 - 29 Nov 1971
I am looking for any information as I can't find out this persons mother.  He does not appear to be on any census.  If anyone can find a reference for him so i can get the right birth cert i would really be grateful.  His father was George Henry Clark but only appears as Henry on the marraige cert.
Thanks for your time
Jac

Hi Jac

The only census he would appear on would be the 1911.  Can you give more details from the certificate - address and father's occupation might help

Is this related to your other post about Simpson/Rothery in South Shields (which is Durham, not Northumberland) http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=377650.msg2508123#msg2508123

Hi Jac,
Have you looked on freebmd site to see if his parent's marriage is there?

W S Clark lived at 16 Joson Place (thats what it looks like).  Both he and his father were miners.  His dad was George Henry although it only has Henry on Williams marraige cert.  I don't know his mothers name.   He married Mary Garbutt July 26 1930.
This is not related to the other request it is the other side of the family.
I can't find him on any records that i have looked at.
I think his parents lived at 79 Sycamore Street Ashington
Regards
Jac

sorry to be picky, but Joson Place, which town??

[jacqlineue]

Sorry thats Josson and i think it may be Ahington but i am not sure.  The cert does not give the town.
Thanks for your help

Does the cert give a District, and county Northumberland?

Have you looked for the family in the 1911 census?

Marraige was at The Parish Church in Seaton Hirst in county of Northumberland.  As i am new to this i am finding it hard to get any information.

Hi Jac,

It's just that every scrap of information you can give will help, particularly as it is for later years.   

I can see his birth date from the death registration, but the trouble is that doesn't tell us where he was born.  So the next step is to find the family on the 1911 census, which should show both him and his parents, their ages and where they were born, then we can get further back.

We need this really to find his birth registration, I can't see a birth for any William Smith Clark, so it may be registered under just William, and could be any district, though probably in Durham/Northumberland, and because it was the end of June, could be either under the June or September Quarters for 1908

There are a couple of birth registrations for Gateshead, none for the Ashington area.  You could contact Gateshead register office to see if either of them have a father called George Henry who was a miner.

Best thing would be to find them in 1911 first
