Little William's inquest was on the 4th Sept. 1876 at the Miners Arms Inn Whitecroft (Gloucester Archives CO 4/2/2 Page 104)

William Albert Wintle aged 1 year son of Thomas Wintle and Eliza & a sister Sarah Ann Wintle (witness).

Died from scalds to throat after drinking boiling water from a kettle.

Transcript confirms burial of William Albert Wintle 1yr 5 months on 5th Sep. 1876 at Parkend.

All fine until I looked for his birth to check if he was the child of my Thomas and Eliza Wintle.

Thomas Wintle married Eliza Ann Hale on 24th July 1864 at St Pauls Parkend.

I have found their children via GRO

Sarah Ann1865 : Julia 1867: Benjamin 1870: Rosa 1872:..... Bertha 1877: Joseph 1880 and a male with a name the Forum declines as an error starts with W.....e ? 1882. No William but there is a possible gap?

Interest aroused I have now searched for a William born about 1875 that might fit and I have been unable to find this child born in the area to anyone.

Was he not registered or baptised or have a I missed a clue some where? Tried GRO, Ancestry, Family Search, parish records on this site plus checked through the Parish Scans on Ancestry.

The expertise on this site might be able to help solve my query.

What started out as quick check to add some 'flesh' to my family history has ended up as a few hours work plus more questions!

Many thanks
