To everyone of you who helped me with this - THANK YOU!  ;D

It'seems such a long time ago now, but I'm so grateful to everyone who helped on this thread and I wanted to update you on what has happened since.

I tracked down the 3 children born to William and Emma, listed on the death notice, thanks to the 1911 census. Their names were Amy b.1905, Edith b. 1908 and John (Jack) b.1911. Through finding an Ancestry tree with the name of an in-law of Williams on it, I got an email contact who was a first cousin of William's Granddaughter, a lving descendant.

This cousin passed on my contact details and yesterday I received a lovely letter from my second cousin who was thrilled to make contact.  The wonderful thing is that this thread has managed to produce the only information available to her about her Grandad, as a fire at her Mother's house many years ago, destroyed all photos and letters from him.  I can't replace those, but at least now she has one photo, beautifully restored by RootsChatters and rich information about him to show her children and Grandchildren.  Plus I can send photos of William's siblings and and her Gt Grandmother to her as well.

This forum does so much good - thank you again fom the bottom of my heart!

Bless you all!
