hi everyone iam looking for a William welch born in wollescote in 1880 I cant seem to find him after 1901 his parents were joseph and Victoria welchx

[wozzle]

possible; there is a marriage in 1910 in Dudley staffs of a William welch/Sophia raybould
they appear on the 1911 census  William states born 1880 in netherton,worcs though

[KGarrad]

That William (born Netherton) can be seen on the 1891 census - so probably not our man!

Trees on Ancestry have hime marrying (at the age of 76!) in Southampton to Bessie Louise Wilson, 23rd October 1954.
He dies on 1st June 1958.

hi yes ive just found that so found them on the 1911 they have a daughter called Margaret im not sure but I think she emigrated to America with a daughter Kathleen also welch margarets address is 7 woodside and the address in netherton is woodside but I cant work out why her last name is welch x

[breese73]

so is mine more likely to be the one who marrys Bessie x

so is mine more likely to be the one who marrys Bessie x

this ones full name is William joseph welch it says he was born about 1878 on the death reg. your ones father was called joseph so it is a possibility

[wozzle]

to complicate matters further there is a William joseph welch born 2nd qtr 1878 in devon
you would need to look at the marr certs of william to sophie and bessie to determine if either of these are yours and to do that you would need to purchase them

[KGarrad]

William does seem to be missing from the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

Perhaps a military career? (But he would appear in 1911?)
Emigration?
In Scotland or Ireland?

hi both of his parents died in 1900 some of the children went to there son joseph who married a lilly bach and moved to Birmingham x
