You can easily find out where he was born on FreeBMD, which you've been told about before:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/search

Just enter his name and the year in a "Birth" search.

But are you sure this is the same person who married Emma?

The child born in 1916 is not with his parents in 1921.

This is the female in 1939...............I've accessed this before, so presumably, it's on a message thread somewhere else on here


1939 Register
19 Fieldway, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke-On-Trent C.B., Staffordshire, England
William J Barker 31 Jul 1892 Male China Saucer Maker Married 52 1
Emma Barker 14 Mar 1895 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 52 2
Emma Marrilon (Barker) 23 Dec 1916 Female Pottery Decorator Enamel Single 52 3

Warrilow was the MMN of the man Chambers who married the mother of the illegitimate Colclough girls. He was born in 1879.

Presumably, his mother was the link........so check out her family

This is Emma's death

WARRILOW, EMMA 1916
GRO Reference: DOR Q4/2009 in SHROPSHIRE (7171A) Reg 1A006 Entry Number 502498702

Is THIS her husband??????????

Re William Warrilow 1911, whose death ErikaH posted -

IF he was born in Stoke, there are two possibilities:

WARRILLOW, WILLIAM mmn WALKLATE
GRO Reference: 1911 S Quarter in STOKE-UPON-TRENT Volume 06B Page 336 :

WARRILOW, WILLIAM mmn MELBOURNE
GRO Reference: 1911 M Quarter in STOKE-UPON-TRENT Volume 06B Page 278

Presumably this is the man with mmn Walklate - therefore NOT Emma's husband:

William Warrilow

This record is officially closed.



This is the one with mmn Melbourne, in 1921 - can't see him definitely after that:

That man's parents' marriage:

Amanda -
you need the Barker/Warrilow marriage cert., to see what William's father's name was.
