Hi
I'm still
baffled!
there was 2 William Thomas Douthwaite.
One William Thomas Douthwaite born circa 1872 on the census
birth place Seaton ross (Selby) living Wetherby Wharfdale in censuses post 1871c and a William Thomas Douthwaite death 1954 Warfedale also no birth of him in the GRO 1872
The other William Thomas Douthwaite was a definite registered birth
1871 Pontefract and
baptised in Featherstone near Hemsworth but there seems no records of this William Thomas Douthwaite of Featherstone in the censuses or his mother and father from his baptism John and Hannah Douthwaite
I checked to see if the was a a gravestone in Felkirk church yard, I checked by year of burials and 1952 -
There was no William Douthwaite headstone, though he could be buried with another earlier wife who was buried years before, but the graveyard is too big to do a blanket search of all the gravestones and the headstones in general told only basic info age at death. (Of no use of help to find who William was ?)
There is a grave register and plot map for Felkirk register in West Yorkshire archives but some dumb clerk stuck a 'not to be seen for a (Victorian) 100 year rule' (Same as rules on censuses post 1911c ) on the grave registers
