1862 birth Cert of Charles: Everton Gardens - Wm. is a General Salesman no mention of Mason in Charles name field, mother Mary Formerly Gibson
1864 birth Cert Ellen Mason b Chesterfield Wm. is an Auctioneer mother as above
1866 birth Mary E, Preston - is this the Mary Ann in 1871? Yes and all other info is same as Ellen Mason
1871 Albert b Preston Birth Cert Wm is General Dealer, marriage (1900) says father is George William, Auctioner. By then Albert is calling himself John Albert.
1874 Hannah b Preston Marriage entry 1895 Wm. is an Auctioneer
1878 Julia b Preston
William died in the Workhouse 23rd December 1906, occupation Hardware Salesman. There is an official alteration to his age on his death cert. - originally given as 74 (presumably by Wm himself on admission to the Workhouse) which ties in with the Birmingham baptism I have, but his children had it changed to 'about 68' which is closer to the 21 on his marriage certificate.
I'm very grateful for all the effort everyone has put in - this brick wall WILL be broken!
