William Winstanley circa 1922
« on: Thursday 14 May 20 12:48 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help.  I am trying to find the birth of William Winstanley born about 1922 I believe in the wigan area.  The only information I have is:
 Marriage: 2 Jun 1945 St Stephen, Wigan, Lancashire, England
William Winstanley - 23, 3530134 Private Pioneer Corps, Bachelor, 138 Frog Lane Wigan
Stella Buckley - 21, Machinist, Spinster, 79 Whelley Wigan
    Groom's Father: Thomas Winstanley, Iron worker
    Bride's Father: James Buckley, Slater
    Witness: C Winstanley; Bessie Farrimond
    Married by Banns by: W. A. Wiffen Vicar Register: Marriages 1943 - 1954, Page 16, Entry 32 Source: Original register at Wigan Archives.
I am also going to post this request on the military forum.
Many thanks

Surely the way to establish his parents is to look at the Winstanley family who are living at 138 Frog Lane on the 1939 register

I believe that his parents are Thomas Winstanley and Mary Ellen Clark.  Married at All Saints, Wigan in December quarter 1911.  Marriage venue from LancashireBMD.
