William F Halliday and Nellie Lever

[anglosaxton56]

I assume the F stands for Frank

Was he of Irish descent?

If you think he died in 1940's (1941 Plymouth?) did Nellie marry again

I hadnt thought of that

The William F Halliday you think may have been born in 1889 --might not be him unless he remarried.

A William Francis Halliday born 1889 died in 1941 in Plymouth -- there is a probate, but his wife's name was Annie. So either it's not your William F - or he had remarried.

I agree with everyone else -- obtain the marriage cert.

I seem to be drawn to an Andrew Halliday who married a second wife Annie Hunter 1886, he was a   Presbyterian minster, Andrew had various children presumably with his first wife but none with Annie Hunter it appears, I might be barking up the wrong tree though
 Son William  born 1875, so way out I would think
IF A BIG IF, William was born in Ireland there won't be a birth registration here

You need to buy the marriage certificate.

There are dozens of Nellie Levers and William Hallidays on freebmd  of the right age group who could have married at this date.

Apologies if I have missed something, but why is it thought he was Irish?

I asked because I was following a William Halliday on previous census, his parents were Irish, at the moment we have no idea who is parentage is, it was just a question trying to eliminate the  wrong ones
