William Warner, born c 1884, Beeston, Nottinghamshire

[Lorraine Jones]

Hi - I am trying to find any information on William Warner, my great-grandfather.  His place of birth is given as Beeston, Nottinghamshire on the 1911 and the 1901 census, but I can't find any records of his birth before then.  He was married to my great-grandmother, Annie Frances Lawrence in 1906 in Loughborough, Leicestershire.  I am wondering if he lived in Beeston at some point and thought he was born there but may have been born somewhere else.  I don't know anything at all about his family, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi Lorraine,

Welcome to Rootschat!

Just wondering if you have their marriage certificate?  Might he have a middle name?

There are 3 possible births for a William Warner in 1885 in Leicestershire:

William Warner 1Q 1885 Leicester 7a 193
William Ernest Warner 4Q Loughborough 7a 130
William George Warner 4Q Barrow S 7a 170

Plus various others either side of 1885.

Best wishes,
