This post is 10 years old  William Howell Ellis birth was registered in Wakefield in 1852 he was the Son of Charles and Elizabeth Ellis. William did marry Eliza McNichol on the 23rd of August 1879 on his marriage certificate it states his Father was Charles a Shoemaker. Knaresborough is a registration district it as never been part of the Wakefield registration district.
On all the census returns William states Wakefield as his place of birth in 1911 he uses his full name William Howell Ellis I don't think he was trying to hide anything or had a family fall out.

World War One / Arthur Holmes from Castleford Distinguished Conduct Medal winner
« on: Monday 20 November 17 19:35 GMT (UK)  »
My friend at work as asked me if I can find out anything about his Great Grandfather Arthur Holmes born Castleford 1888 and died in Castleford 1963 he told me his Grandfather had won a Distinguished Conduct Medal in World War One. I think I found his medal card his service number was S/3129  but there is a UK Citations of the Distinguished Conduct Medal 1914-1920 that I cannot see I think it is the same man I could tell my friend what his Great Grandfather won the medal for.

Any help would be much appreciated Tony
