William Pratt
« on: Tuesday 18 September 12 17:09 BST (UK) »
Hi I've no idea if anyone can help, but I'm looking for the birth or any information actually regarding my Scottish ancestor William Pratt .  He married in Wakefield Yorkshire in 1854, he states his father's name is Henry a labourer. William would have been born about 1823. On the censuses all it says is Scotland, unfortunately not where and that's all I have.
I would be grateful for any input, thanks Lizzydrippin.
