I am trying to connect a William Maltby Riversley to my family.
My grandfather remembers him as a child, living in the household of his own grandfather. William was a year or two younger than my grandfather, and understood him to be a cousin.
My grandfather, Leo A Staaden was born in London, 1901. He appeared in the 1901 census, living with his mother, sister, grandfather, 2 uncles and an Aunt.
In the 1911 Census, William maltby Riversley is an 8 year old, living with the family, but is listed as being a Visitor, and not a grandchild of my Grandfathers Grandfather. At the time, my grandfather was already living in Australia, but did see him for one last period, between 1912 and 1914. He then left England permanently in 1914 and I suspect he had little or no further contact.
I have only ever found 2 references to WMRiversley. The first, was a death listing for him....William Maltby Riversley
Birth Date: 17 May 1902
Death Registration Month/Year: Nov 1985
Age at death (estimated): 83
Registration district: Hastings and Rother
Inferred County: East Sussex
Volume: 18
Page: 1046
and the 1911 Census listing of him living at 57 Lincoln Rd.
I am trying to work out who his parents were, or if he had any descendants.
Could some kind person help...perhaps a look up of an Obituary ? Thoughts ?
