Hi kay thanks for reply yes it is the same family. .I still don't have any more info on William which I can say is def.him as the name is quite a common one.I don't even have his Father/Mothers name my [Great grandparents] so I cant tie him up by that.I don't know if he was in the forces.By the death cert I don't think William and Maude lived in the same house as Maude lived in Orsett for some yrs and Williams address was Horndon on the Hill a few miles along.I cant get a birth cert for William as said before don't know his parents names and also the name being so common.I don't really know which route to take now if indeed there is one to take.
Many Thanks Marlers

Tricky one, without a marriage to give us a fathers name for him.
Might have to wait till 2021, and the census, to see the family together and get a place of birth for William.

Hi Thanks for the replies its always been a joke that I have gypsy blood so perhaps its true as the Barnes name is so common/popular and not having much info to go on it makes research so hard but I,m sure with the help of good people like yourselves I WILL complete my tree at some stage .I do go deeper into all the info that is passed on to me I don't forget about all the hard work people are doing for me.
Many thanks
