Thank you for your reply.  I've attached the  so hope you can see it Ok.  The files area large so I will have to send them separately.  I'll contact my brother to see if he still is in touch with Doreen.

I remember going to visit Bob and Dorothy Weaver, back in the 1970's.  A lovely couple and he was a very keen gardener - as well as seeming very tall to me! They were then living near Nottingham in Breaston (?).  Doreen helped me when I was looking for work in the 1980's and I last saw her in the 1990's.  My brother has her address and as far as I know she is still around.

Bertram (Bert) Smith who came from Liskeard in Cornwall married Caroline Lancastle in c1906.  Brenda Eyre (daughter of Joseph William's brother, John (Jack)) was in contact with my father when he was trying to find out about the name change from Lancastle to Williams.  She gave their address as 15 Castleton Rd, Hope (don't know date they lived there).  I have a couple of photos of Bertram and Caroline from c1906.

I've put together the family tree as far as I can so if you are interested I could try sending you a pdf.  I've saved the photos as jpegs, so can try to send them too if you are interested.

I hope this is of help.

Have a receipt for funeral of Mrs Lancastle (Caroline) 04.04.1931 paid for by Mr Weaver.  She was by then in Hope, Derbyshire and apparently there are records in Hope church.

Robert Henry Lancastle was my grandfather so I know for definite that the children of Caroline and John Weaver were  (?Edith 1862), Arthur, Walter, Albina, Alice Maud, George John.  We have some documented memories from relatives, including some photographs.  Caroline then married Robert Lancastle and had Robert Henry, Caroline, Sarah Ann (also known as Sarann), Joseph William and possibly a Matthew (shown on photograph we have).

Robert Henry was born in Andoversford Huts, Gloucester, as Robert was at that time a navvy on the railway.  He later changed his surname to Williams possibly because he was lodging with a family of that name, although there is suggestion that Caroline later married (?) a James Williams as this person appears on Robert Henry's death certificate as his father.

Have baptism record of Caroline Hawkins showing her mother's name as Anne but unfortunately no maiden name.  He seems to have married 3 Ann(e)s!

I have a great grandfather Robert Lancastle who married Caroline Weaver (nee Hawkins) some time after 1878.  Caroline was baptised 19.01.1845 in Kenn, Somerset.  I have more details of children she had with John Weaver (who she married in 1868 when aged 22) and other children with Robert Lancastle. 

Robert Lancastle and Caroline had a son Robert Henry Lancastle on 03.03.1881 who later took the name Williams.  We think it was because he was lodging with a family named Williams.  Caroline was later associated with a James Williams but no record of marriage.
So we lost the surname Lancastle.
