Today arrived the certificate ordered from the GRO for my William LEE born Islington 1885. This was ordered using the facility where the order was "without " the index reference known button. The GRO was given the date, registration district, names of the parents and only known forename William. They check one year either side of the date nominated ie a 3 year span for the same fee for a normal ordered certificate. The order was placed on the 3rd November, dispatched on the 12th and arrived in Australia 24th so no long delay. The surprise for me was that instead of the expected William F or William P LEE his name turned out to be Thomas William LEE, a combination otherwise in a month of Sundays I would never had thought up and with the previous system would have cost quite a few "wrong" certificates and pounds to discover. Thomas William LEE ottherwise known as plain old William LEE born Islington on April 25th1885, still single and living with his aged parents in 1911 is now my brick wall for the coming year, and with that combination of very common names a fairly daunting problem. Have done the usual the CWGC for WW1 casualties, WW1 records, and passenger lists on Findmypast and checked out that marriages for all Thomas William LEE's in Middlesex/London after 1911. Was there an obligation at the time of marriage to provide the full names you were registered with? So any ideas of where to go from here folks? cheers Bob in Brisbane
