Another shove in the right direction
« on: Friday 07 July 17 22:45 BST (UK) »
Hi guys,
looking for a little help, i'm a little stuck with one of my rellies, can anyone help with information on a William Shuter, no D.O.B. presume he lives in Birmingham, no parents for him. i have spent hours trawling through Ancestry for information on him, but for some reason i can't make any headway, i find some possible matches then second guess myself.
i have him married to my grandmother Doreen Kate Ogborn in 1918
any help would be appreciated,
thanks wayne

Scobie, i don't know anything about him, if he served, don't know his age or birth date, not even sure of his death date, he is just a complete blank for me, i have some records from ancestry, but am unsure if they are him or not, so i don't want to use or quote them

FreeBMD has eleven children with father's name Shuter and mother's name Ogborn born in Birmingham between 1921 and 1939.

Doreen K is on the 1939 register in Birmingham but doing a basic search I can't find a William living with her.
You really need the marriage certificate which will give his age and occupation, and his father's name. Without it we are just guessing. They must have moved to Warwickshire after their marriage in Worcestershire. I see Doreen Kate was with her parents in  1911 born Leicestershire. So she moved around
 William Shuter's birth date needs to be found.

it looks like the way to go crisane, anything to do with william draws blanks or possibilities but not a lot of definates

He isn't the William Shuter who died in 1957 Birmingham registration district as his probate gives his wife as Norah. I think they married in 1933.

not sure crisane, i don't have history on him, most of the older rellies have gone now and information is sketchy from the rest of us
