Thank you so much... I think I am solving a puzzle. I believe William Johns was the illegitimate child of Sarah (Salter), born Dec 1872. His birth name would be Johns but on the 1881 census he is listed as William Salter (thank you for helping me find that). I can't seem to find a marriage of Sarah to Charles unless she had married before Charles and had a different name at marriage. Do you have access to any Birth information or Marriage information that may shed light on his full identity ?

It seem that William went on to marry a Caroline Hurford and had twin sons the year after Charles Salter died and they were named Charles William and Samuel Charles b.1895. I have been really stuck on Williams details and that of his parentage, the Salter info has helped me alot. Do you have any other suggestion...?
