MILLER William Vincent b.c1892 - COMPLETED

[SASHAR]

I have a William Vincent MILLER who died during WW1 and I have found some records which indicate he was born c1892 to Charles Richard & Elizabeth MILLER.
William served in the 10th Batallion, East Yorkshire Regiment and those papers state he was a native of Willerby, Hull.  At the time of his death his parents were at Council Cottages, Stokham, Retford, Notts.
I am interested in any further information that I could gain on William's family, especially the MILLER side.
Appreciate any advise as to where else I could look for information - many thanks,  Sashar

Hi Tati,
Yes, that would be the right family.   You were very quick!
That's quite interesting as I know another family member either worked or ran an Asylum in either Yorkshire or Gloucester.
I would be very interested if you can follow the family further for me.

Thanks so much -  Sashar

Hi Sashar and Tati

This looks a little sad - they may have lost another son?

You should find Charles on the LDS (or ancestry) in 1881 with parents John Charles and Mary - and many siblings! They look to be a good family to research - all have middle names

Edit: Just noticed father John Charles was born in Austria - Vienna - Tati - how is your knowledge of Austria? You live a little closer than me

Hi Tati and Trish,
I haven't as yet had a chance to look at LDS but sounds promising.

Edit: Just noticed father John Charles was born in Austria - Vienna

This MILLER family thought they had a German connection somewhere, it's interesting you've found this connection to Austria.

Now I am confused!

Thank so much for what you've found for me - I'll get onto LDS now and have a browse - kind regards,  Sashar

Hi Sashar

I can't easily find 1861 - it's dinner time here - I'll look a little later - may have to wait for Tati to find it - John Charles & Mary may not be married at that time - He may be in Vienna or New York
