Here's Arthur - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ham-Family

Having trouble finding his father (also Arthur)

Can't see anything for him or father, I can't see him in 1881 either.

I can't find him either. The most likely one has a father named Isaac.
I couldn't find a birth or marriage registration for an Arthur Billingham in the right period to be his father either.

Arthur Billingham 48 Head Wid Chainmaker

Yes, but that is Arthur jnr witnessing the wedding of his wife's sister. Can you see Arthur snr anywhere at all? Or Arthur jnr as a witness to a wedding that is not on his wife's side?

I just wonder if he is this one http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ham-Family and the wrong name went down for his father.

I am thinking along this line too. He states Mushroom Green on census too. Yes NL its a reg marriage so would need buying.

poss

could arthur been born out of wedlock and mad arthur up as his father ?

any single arthur out there with no father ?

Can we connect up with a note?

Jo .....any chance you could sort and add this?

if not I will try over next few weeks
