Very true, unfortunately. The 1911 census often only gives the first name.Quote:

Actually, those Xmas cards may be from any period between Xmas 1934 - 38. The Bn were posted there in October 1934 and remained there until mid 1938

Thanks Ernest. Anything of interest on your Dads Birth Cert? I'm wondering if Williams age might be listed, that would at least give us a birth year?
My father is not sure if he was 1 or 2 years less than my his mother or 1 or 2 more,she was born in 1912 so he must be if its more or less between 1910 to 1914
These are my favourite contenders so far :
WATSON William C Pontypridd Glamorganshire 1910
WATSON William C Neath Glamorganshire 1911
Do we have any names of other members of the family to work with?
