I can add to the above.
Norwich Mercury 18 October 1905 has 2 chess problems written by E BAIRD and E WINTER-WOOD, who are said to both be descendants of Sir William WINTER the admiral.
I checked and found that these 2 people are actually only 1 person, but writing under 2 different names.
She was Edith E H BAIRD, a widow, who died aged 63 in 1924 in Devon. She was born in Boalouge (?). She noted in the 1911 census that she had been married for 5 years and had one child. I believe that these 5 years were the length of the marriage (ie between marriage and the death of her huisband). She said she had had 1 child, but there is no statement as to if that child is alive or dead.
I have not found the marriage, nor where the penname came from, but the 1911 census has Edith in the same house as Robert and Olive WINTER, who had a 2 year old son Walter. Every one in the house were boarders.
If there is anyone who wants to confirm or deny the descent from the Admiral, It should be possible to reconstruct the family of Robert, a master mariner, who was born in 1847 in St John New Brunswick., which is in Canada.
