Hi Carol,
Thanks for the information, its all very interesting and i'm sure there is a link somewhere. To be honest i don't know too much about my father, I never really knew him as I was two when he died. He met my mother during WW11 in his journeys to Liverpool. My mother was 18 when she married William, then 32. They married in Liverpool on 22nd December 1944, they must have been married 12 years as i was born in 1955. William (my dad) died in sad circumstances, he had cancer, I think he was a drinker because he was found in Boscastle,near the quay side with a burst ulcer and died of blood loss!! I have his birth and death certs, thats how I know his parents names. There is on the birth cert 'Lower Stewalees or Stemalees or similar',his birth was registered on 15th Dec 1915??? the registrar was john Stephens entry 109. But strangely there is a second date and name 31 may 1912, registrar s?c ? Michell.
My father name was William and his father (my grandfather) was William, Williams mother (my gran) was definitely Elizabeth Hannah (nee Mills). i've looked on the 1901 census but no luck because I cannot get the link with William (1912), I gues it mite be a visit to Cornwall to try and look at 1871,1881 and 1891 records.
Thanks Carol, I mite get some news evetually.
Rgds. Steve
