Am trying to find the parents of William George PILLING who I think was born  Burnley Lancashire 1868. Here is his marriage notice  ..
PILLING-DONNELLAN.-On the 7th June, by the Rev. E. G. Day, at his residence, William, second son of William Pilling, Holly Bank, Manchester, to Annie, third  daughter of Thomas Donnellan of Kapunda.. Adelaide South Australia Advertiser 13 June 1892
Cant find him on free 1871 cen

Did the couple marryin Australia? Did they live there too, or return to England after their marriage? When did son William come to Australia?

What leads you to believe he was born in Burnley?

On the 1871 census there are three William Pillings with father William born in Lancs around 1868. None born Burnley, none with middle name George. I have not extended the search to include misspellings of the surname or other variants.

What is William snr's occupation? This might help narrow down the right family. Do you know the names of any of William jnr's siblings?

Do you have the family in the 1881 census?

Does his death certificate give any information on his mother

I think that's him Heywood. Their first daughter was named Margaret Victoria PILLING.  Margaret being Annie DONNELLAN'S mother and Victoria for Williams' Mother..  it all fits ty

That's great 

Just post if you can't access the details yourself. Someone will be able to check them and transcribe the records.

I was looking to see if an address was Holly Bank but none of the houses has a name.
