I have had to seek help on this as i have got myself into a confused rut
So i will try to explain what i have as best i can.
Im trying to find the Father of my 2nd Great Grandfather. My 2nd Great Grandfather was William Henry Squires, this i know as it is listed on my great grandfathers marriage record.
Then finding the correct marriage record for William Henry Squires states that HIS fathers name was George Henry Squires (The one im tring to find). William served in WW1 for a short service and it states on there that he was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire abt 1883, it lists him as 31yrs and 8 days. Calculating back this takes the date to AUG 18 1883.
I went onto the GRO to search and found only one William Henry Squires born in Birmingham in 1883, Mothers maiden name Piesley. So i thought yes this must be him so i ordered the certificate and was disappointed and confused with the birth certificate.
Birthdate is March 1883. Father: William Squires. Mother: Mary Jane Squires formerly Pielsey
As you can see i was confused about the fathers name being Wiliiam and not George.
So i have been doing alot of research and can't find any Mary Jane Piesley
or any Piesley marrying a George Henry Squires or William Squires.
If anyone could help me with trying to figure this out it would be very much appreciated.
