William James Corbett b. 01/06/1882 or 1883 Birthplace Brickwall
« on: Thursday 10 October 24 13:46 BST (UK) »
He married 4th Feb 1928 (aged 45 bachelor Gen Labourer) Florence Atkins (aged 31 spinster) address on marriage cert for both, Fernley Cottages, Croxley Green. Grooms father John Loxley Corbett (deceased) Cant read his occupation, might be artist or retired? Can't trace William James Corbett being born on BMD or on any census records prior to his emigration. Can't trace his father John Lockley Corbett either. We know that William James and Florence emigrated to USA New York in Sep 1928. Some of their children remained in the UK namely James Arthur Corbett b. 1922 Watford (from Florence's previous relationship) and Alyssum Betty Corbett b. Q1 1928 Watford. Children named Lillian Malone Corbett b. 1919 baptised Croxley Green 1919, Nellie Corbett b. 1924 Watford and Maud Corbett b. 1926 Watford all went to the USA with their parents. They had four more children in the USA namely Frances (Frank), Olive, Florence & William. William James sponsor in the USA was WH Spurrier his cousin. Any help to get us further back would be appreciated.
