Hi RootsChat members, can anyone advise me if and perhaps how I could access details of the following. I am trying to establish the parentage of William and was hoping that there may be a clue in these records. His place of Birth is given in various Censuses as Great Clacton, Bristol and Newport Monmouthshire.
Many Thanks
Robin
