can not find parents off ...
« on: Monday 14 August 23 19:22 BST (UK) »
hello I have hit abit of a brick wall with my family tree. I am looking for Marys parents as I can not find a marriage document on Joseph and Mary. 

Mary (not sure on maiden name)
B:abt 1868 in Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, England
D:March 1904 in Staffordshire, United Kingdom

she was married to Joseph Birbige Willshee
B:July 1867 Burton upon Trent
D:Apr 1931 Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England

There is evidence of them both living together in 1901 Censers but Mary died about age 36

thank you ever so much
April Griffiths

Joseph Willshee can be found as a widower in 1911 census with the following.

Joseph Willshee 45 Head
Alice Willshee   25   Daughter*
Kate Willshee 16 Daughter
George Tomas Willshee 18 Son
Annie Willshee 11 Daughter** born as per heywoods post
Leslie Willshee 3 Grandson

*WILSHEE, ALICE       mmn BAGNALL 
GRO Reference: 1885  S Quarter in BURTON UPON TRENT  Volume 06B  Page 404

Who's children are Kate & George Tomas. Were they Mary's children or Joseph's

Weird! Joseph appears in 1921 with a son George Thomas aged 38

Thomas and Kate are also in 1901 census with Joseph and Mary.
I only looked up Annie for a mother’s name.
