I am looking for 2 people: Joseph Windlow who was born in 1843 in North Shields. I found him in the 1851 and 1861 census - but can not find him in the 1871 census. In the 1881 census he has a wife, Catherine and a son, William, who is 10 years old - born in Winlaton, Durham.
I cannot find any GRO information for William's birth. In 1901 William turns up with a wife - Jane, who he married in 1900. (Under the name William Johnson Windlow). His age was recorded as being 28 years. Yet I still cannot find him in the Birth records.
I bought a birth certificate for William John Winlow, thinking there might be an error with the surname and middle name - but the name of the father was Ralph, not Joseph. Rather than spending another £7 on a "Possible" can anyone offer any other advice please?
My only other thought was could it be the William Windlow born in Newcastle in 1866 - a few years out - but who's counting?!!!
I would really appreciate some help because this is driving me nuts!
