FreeBMD gives a birth for a William Thomas Greenwood Dec 1900 Bradford, Y. 9b 120



There is also a William Nicholson Greenwood Jun 1901 Bradford,Y. 9b 133



Are either of these him?

Emeltee

hi elmtee, i will of probably looked at this one, but with the birth being dec.

i dont know, as there could be a possability as i think my william was a space man, if you could look into this one for me and the other william nicholson.and see if they had a father called frederick greenwood thanks

HI,

I have checked the web site I subscribe to and there is not a William Thomas Greenwood or a William Nicholson Grrenwood living in Bradford. Of the William Bradford entries of the right age none were born in Bradford or have a father called Frederick.



Sorry not to have been of more help.

Emeltee

hi Emeltee

thanks for looking for me, this is doing my head in , if he'd of had a birth certificate this would not be happening. but im down to the last straw now, royal navy he served in the first world war, what do i have to do as there isent much information to go off paulette

Hi paulettewinter



The following is all speculation, but may be correct.



This is the Bradford baby.

Keighley is in the middle of Bradford, and this one is about the same age, but you'd require the birth certificate to confirm the maiden name of the mother.

hi mark f,

thankyou so much for looking for me but there is alot of williams there that ive gone through myself but they are not the ones, my grandfather died in 1985. the harry and mary who had a 3mth william,looked good but williams father was called fred.

now we can speculate as much as we want to but i think my only hope now is his navy records. paulette

If there is no birth for William that you know, why are you so sure he was born in Bradford then?



If he lived in Bradford sometime during his life, it doesn't mean he was born there, or even in Yorkshire!!

hi mark

because it says on his death certificate, but i no what you mean. he also told me that he spent alot of time with is grandfather in bradford as both his parents died at the age of 38yrs. paulette
