Looking for info on william john coates,born 1883, portsea island,?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hello Shawn,
I have done a search for your william, and like rustskipp I cannot find any wjc, born in 1883. I found wjc born in Port-sea Hampshire born 1887 I have found you the volume & page numbers they are 2b and page 501. If you want to message me I can do another search for wjc. Sometimes the enumerator who did the census survey would use the information given to him by the householder, or he would just guess at a birth date or the spelling of a name. I would love to help if I can, good luck ..
