Thank you keyboard86. I believe this them as I recognise his brother's name  :)
Wonder who his mother was ? The only death of a female Lewis in the time scale is Mary Lewis ? I'll have another look. No B.E.L. though.....

Hi checking the new GRO Index suggests that both William & Ambrose were illegitimate as no mothers maiden name shown, suggest Annie who married William Jefferson?

Yes that would make sense, thanks. Or possibly a Lewis son's offspring ?

Although that's flawed too as I was told he had no father ?
Think you're closer to the truth. I will look for an Annie Jefferson death.

I can't quite work out why a death of a Annie Jefferson would lead to the correct parentage of William Lewis b Dec qtr 1872 Whitby or shown at the 1914 marriage?

Ha keyboard86 it wouldn't conclusively but I understand that William's mother died when he was young so I was curious about whether Annie died young. Anyway I drew a blank - so no further forward ;D

Hi again the trouble with "I've been told/ I understand " etc etc it does not hold water until proof is found, I do believe that the December qtr 1872 Whitby birth is him, but as no baptism can be located another unknown at present.

Yes you're right keyboard86 ! William was my mother-in-laws father and it was she who told me that his mother died when he was young and that his grandparents brought him up. Unfortunately she died a good few years back so I'll never know.
Thank you for all your help with this request. It has been much appreciated.
Regards
Mary

 :) OK when/where did William Lewis b c 1872 ( if correct)  die?
How did you know of Ambrose?
