Really really helpful thanks. This all sounds possible. Some misdescription on the birth certificate, and lost records. Your answer on the numbers is not what I expected, and it is useful to know.
I mistrust my memory because it would be 50 years ago that any of this was mentioned and I would be in my teens. But I think I remember it being said he never left the UK.

There are 10 men with service number 71511. None of them is William Bibby. Is it usual to have 10 people with the same number? I know nothing of WW1 service numbers!

Interesting thought on timing of wedding.

I have looked up the 8 William Bibby records and have no way of knowing if any may be right. If I were to ask you to speculate, would you think he could have been evading military service? Or evading his wife? It seems strange he was not in the Army in February 1916, age 21. Or is that normal?
Thanks.

Thank you MaxD. This is strange. The information is very clearly written on the Birth Certificate, no chance of me misreading it. My grandmother registered the birth, so the information would have come from her. Something is wrong somewhere!

Found it! Many tries later... don’t know what happened, bit glitchy.
Thanks.

Hi MaxD is this under Military Records? I am having trouble finding it.

Ah! Thanks. Well I had him in a different birth family. Hard to tell. And I might be wrong. Where did you find that service record?

Thanks MaxD. His death certificate says his aunt Ann Bibby was present at death. Not sure exactly who his parents are but that is of secondary importance to his war service, for me today.
