Eileen I live in Woking, Surrey so maybe able to help. There's Surrey Family History centre here which may hold some marriage records, and also the local electoral lists c 1978, and newspaper archives (My ancestral families are all Yorkshire in origin! so I hardly use the centre). It would be helpful to know whether Henry the son of Thomas was married in a church, chapel, or local registry office and to whom! - and do you have a date of the marriage As Henry was 57 years old at the time of his marriage (first?) it's probable that any siblings were also relatively old too - already married? with their own families. Other marriages may also have been in Woking - and these siblings also living in Woking area in early post war period. There is only one WILLS presently listed in the telephone directory local to Sheerwater For your information, St. Michael's Road Sheerwater is in a post war council estate built to house Londoners when there was a move out to the suburbs. Many houses subsequently were owner occupied. It seems likely that Thomas Wills originally came from London. Needless to say, "offices" will only re-open next week so it may take time to do any checks - and I'm catching up with outstanding jobs inc. FHS annual subs etc Richard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eileen Sent: 01 January 2010 7:53 PM To: Westriding Subject: [WRY] WILLS, Thomas Henry - census lookup please Happy new year.   Could some one take a look for Thomas Henry Wills, listed as still living on his son's marriage certificate in 1978 ( son's name Henry Wills born approx 1921, age 57 at time of marriage in 1978,   hoping to locate Thomas with wife and maybe siblings of Henry   Marriage took place in Woking Surrey,  address on marriage cert. for Henry was given as St. Michael's Road Sheerwater, Woking Surrey .   Bride's father was listed as (deceased)  I'm assuming that Thomas was still alive because they did not write (deceased) under his name on the cert.   many thanks Eileen Some useful websites - FREECEN - http://www.freecen.org.uk/ FREEBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ Want to know where a place in Yorkshire is - Try Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
