I need some help in finding the parents of William Loader, please.
The 1841 census has him as 35 b. Middlesex. 1851 (nameless!) Loader 43 b. Marylebone. So, born around 1806/1808 ish. He married Harriet Read (1808) in St Anne Soho in 1828. By 1861 she was a widow, so his death was between 1851 and 1861. There were 4 William Loader deaths in Marylebone in this period. 2 in 1856, 1 in 1858 and 1 in 1860. As far as I can see, one of the 1856 deaths was an 8 week old boy. When I sent for the death cert. and gave all the details which I knew, I was sent the 1860 cert. I am not convinced that this was the correct one, as the informant (who was present at the death) was not a member of the family even though he had left a widow and grown children. This William was 56 - so born c1804.
I suppose there are still the other 2 certs to think about, but as GRO had all the details, they probably aren't the right age etc anyway.
There are a number of trees on Ancestry with William on, but they all seem to have Joseph Henry Loader and Elizabeth Hannah Sheldon as his parents. Joseph and Elizabeth did have a son William but he was born in 1820. They were married in St. Giles Cripplegate, London, England in 1815, so I don't think that these trees are correct.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
