It does seem  I`ve been chasing the wrong William Greenwell.Ours married Charlotte Smith in 1922 and he died in 1963,in Heworth.There were no children,hence the lack of info.

Very odd indeed

The William Edward GREENWELL, birth registered Lanchester Dec Qtr 1898, whom we have been following….son of Joseph & Eliza/Elizabeth...  we are pretty certain the census, marriage and 1971 death we have found is the same man.  But BMD documents  would prove it .

In your original posting, you said your man was born Lanchester 1899.  Where did that information come from? Did you know him to have a middle name?

MARRIAGE: Mar Qtr 1922, Chester le Street
William GREENWELL
Charlotte SMITH

DEATH: William GREENWELL, age 74
Dec Qtr 1963, Durham NE

No middle "E" or  "Edward" evident on either the death or marriage.

Given the above, I'd say the chances are, your William GREENWELL could be the one whose birth is registered as follows (and as it happens,  in the same year and qtr as the William Edward in Lanchester we've already looked at):

BIRTH: William GREENWELL, Chester le Street, Dec Qtr 1898

On the Census, the one most likely to be him this lad ( & Pelton comes under the Chester le Street registration district):

CENSUS 1901: Bowden Terrace, Helmington Row,  Durham
RG13 - Piece 4651, Folio 13  , Page 18
Head: William LANE 57, Coal Miner Hewer, b N.K., Lancashire
Wife: Mary A LANE 53, b Shildon Durham
Son: John LANE 30, singler, Contractor/ Cartman, b Bowden Close
Dau: Hannah GREENWELL 21, married, b Bowden Close
Son: Joseph LANE 13, Contractor/ Cartman, b Bowden Close
Dau: Rose LANE 14, b Bowden Close
Dau: Matilda LANE 5, b Bowden Close
Grandson: William GREENWELL 2, b Pelton Durham

MARRIAGE: Jun Qtr 1898, Auckland, Durham, on same page:
Sarah Hannah LANE
John White GREENWELL

MARRIAGE: Mar Qtr 1906, Auckland, Durham
Sarah Hannah GREENWELL
To: Christopher LIDDLE

And as follows, I believe to be one family:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XWHL-64S
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XWHL-643
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XWHL-647

Use the links to the search tools I gave you earlier to  determine  if  the above 3 are all in same household.

This seems the likely match to your William GREENWELL, but  unless there is information in the above census etc that matches what you know of your William, then the marriage cert to Charlotte  will (hopefully) be  the necessary 100%  proof you need, to ensure you're on the right path.
