William Smith b 1890 Aldershot, Hamp
« on: Monday 27 September 21 13:56 BST (UK) »
Hi, can anyone help please,  I have been looking at a William Smith b 1890 Aldershot, Hampshire,  he married a Norah Churn in 1912 but I believe she died in 1915,  I am after finding what happened to William when she died,  there were 2 children born to William and Norah both died sadly.  If anyone can find anything would be very appreciated and may help me greatly with Hubbies Tree. William and Norah married in Woking.

Have you found him on the 1939 register?

Have you checked if he remarried?

Aldershot came under Farnham RD - 2 births in 1890 both of whom have middle names.  Which is your William?

With a surname like Smith you need as much info as possible.  What was his mothers maiden name?

There is a William John Smith birth June qtr 1891 mmn Baker but in Fareham - not Farnham

Silas & Rhoda appear to be travellers - 1901 address is a tent on an encampment

There are several William Smith marriages in Guildford RD from 1916-1920 & without more positive info as to any middle name or actual birthdate it would be impossible to determine the right entry without viewing all marriage certs for fathers name

Here's Norah in 1911
