Hi

You can search for the family yourself on the 1911 census

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

for copyright reasons you cannot request a lookup from that census on Rootschat.

Barbara Ann's death certificate will tell you whether she died as a widow

Deaths Dec 1934  Woolley  Barbara A  59  Hammersmith  1a 276

see the help guide at the top of the London & Middlesex board on London burials for the link to Hammersmith and Fulham cemeteries for a search for her burial.

If you have the marriage certificate you have the details of William's father to help you track him back on earlier censuses.


RootsChat policy is not to publish details of living people, or details of people who may still be living. This is to protect all concerned from spam, identity abuse, internet abuse etc.
So any information on the descendants of this family if found will have to sent via the Personal Message (PM) system.


Regards

Hello Poshimp

I'm afraid by the time William Richard Woolley was 35 he had changed his vocation in life......and become an Insurance Agent

Thank You for the information I have received. -he was shown as an Insurance Agent before violinist so that makes sense. I had the 1911 info but wondered what happened to him and his son.

Hello Poshimp

As the family lived in Fulham and Barbara died Hammersmith R.D

This is probably the marriage of

George William Woolley (born 12th Dec 1905 registered Mar qtr 1906 Paddington R.D) married Elsie F M Cable (Elsie Florence M Cable born 6th Dec 1904)
