William Nottingham (abt 1804- mar 1882); looking through the absolute forest load of papers spread out across my living room...the documents I have that directly refer to him are:
Marriage to Mary Lee info, 1 jan 1837
1861 census (rough age, exact address 104 Warden Lane, Old Warden + occupation Ag.labourer)
1871 census (same as above)
Death info mar quarter 1882
Looking at it I could add more - I notice 1881 is missing, and pre 61. I thought that lot was okay to class him as a fairly well documented person, I was quite pleased as an amateur attempt =)
As for where he was born -I'm putting it down as a fairly safe assumption that it was Old Warden, Bedfordshire, England since his father John married Elizabeth Searle on 17 Apr 1797 in Old Warden, and he died in June 1819 in Old Warden. It's conceiveable though that William may not have been born there.
