If there was a marriage, Emily could have been a widow so would not have married as Williamson.

Walter's death?

Name: Walter G Viall
Birth: abt 1880
Death: Mar 1957 - Greenwich, Greater London, England

Terence's birth was registered in Greenwich.

Their is a Terence b1934 with mm Williamson- possible that Walter could have been the father, but not seeing a marriage.

Marriages Sep 1903 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MELVIN Margaret Jane Woolwich 1d 2306
VIALL Walter George Woolwich 1d 2306

I don't see a marriage of Walter Viall to Emily Williamson.

I'm not seeing a marriage for a Walter G Viall to an Emily Grace Williamson.

When was the marriage supposed to have taken place?

Hello everyone

I was wondering if anybody could help me as I'm confused (it don't take much).

I have a Walter g Viall b 1880 boreham Essex married to Margaret Melvin in 1902 and children
Marjorie Hilda b 1904
Walter james b 1905
Leslie John b 1907
Winifred elizabeth b 1907 all in dartford area

But I have been contacted by a man called Phillip Viall saying that my Walter g Viall married an Emily grace Williamson?? And had a son called Terence in 1934..

Am I being stupid because to me the dates don't seem right for a start, he has Walters parents right tho so am a bit confused and would really like another pair of eyes to have a look for me .

Thank you in advance

Trudy :-)
