I have have noted the baptisms on the same day, but did not really take notice as some  children were "bulk" baptised. Maybe three for the price of one?

Well this is a bit of a mystery. Who is Mary Willoughby 1901 needlewoman ?
and more importantly who is her husband? I have matched Joseph and Frederick with spouses. I thought Edward Underhill married a Isabel Pearson Atchison in 1881 Kent. This is a STUMBLING BLOCK..
Stressed out now

I was thinking that perhaps Mary A (needlewoman) in 1901 could be the sister (same woman as in 1891 staying with Emily HARE) and that saying she was widowed was perhaps more convenient than saying she was a single mum if she hadn't actually been married.

Have you found her (the sister Mary Ann that is) in the 1881 census and/or an alternative in the 1901 census?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

I notice the 1899 death reg just shows him as William Henry Willoughby

The only 1881 census I can find for his profile does not match the children you list or his wife

In 1851 - William is not with his family but Mary Ann is shown as married

In 1861 - Mary Ann is shown as a widow

I think the 1899 death you found is that of another William H Willoughby who is on the 1881 census with wife Emma
I wonder if he "died" or rather remarried.. Is a Yeoman of the Guard a Mariner or with a Mariner's background? If you could get his death certificate for me then there might be some info regarding his marriages and children :D

Yes, once you have the references you need to purchase the certificates.  They are £7 each and can be ordered online http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

The exceptions being the marriages which were in the Medway and North Ayelsford registration districts and which may be in the onine parish registers (1873 Emma SMITH and 1870 Caroline HOBART) http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

You may also find the baptism of Rebecca in the online parish registers.

Have you actually looked for them?
