William Lewis look up request
« on: Tuesday 28 February 17 18:47 GMT (UK) »
Good evening
Could anyone look up William Lewis please ?
He most probably was born in one of the villages surrounding Whitby. He married Mary Elizabeth Wilson in 1914 in Whitby. I would love to know who his mother or female relatives were as I have inherited an object that is inscribed B.E.L. and I am hoping that these initials can be traced to one of them ? Unfortunately I do not have any other details other than that he lived and worked in Esk Valley, nr Grosmont.
Thank you
Mary

Have you looked for him on the 1911 census as there was only one entry in Whitby and he was only born 1900?

When was he born?  You need a copy of his marriage cert to establish his age and his fathers name

Have you found him on the 1939 register?

Hi did you not get help on this years ago, was the research carried out flawed?

If William was many years older is it possible c 1872?

Hi again
Thanks CaroleW and keyboard86. The previous research was really helpful but I never really found William Lewis' parents ? I was just trying to tie in these initials of B.E.L which are engraved on the object I inherited through my mother-in-law that previously belonged to her mother Mary Elizabeth Lewis nee Wilson. I was hoping that William's mother shared these initials. A bit of a long shot but the object has obviously been handed down the family and as there is an L it seemed possible ?
Unfortunately I haven't access to Ancestry at the moment and I've exhausted everything else that I can access on the net.
Thank you both for helping  :)
Mary

Those dates for Mary Elizabeth Lewis look correct keyboard86. I met my husband in 1976 and I remember she died a few years after this. The age looks correct too.
Thanks
Mary

Mmm have been back over my research and I think I see my problem here. If he had no father (with the family) and his mother died when he was young therein lies the problem. Guess I'll never know.....
Thank you for your interest. Sorry it was a wild goose chase ::)
