The mysterious William Douthwaite

[rosie99]

Using freebmd a possibility   
Death June qtr 1924   
Thomas Douthwaite    age    49   
Lancaster    8e   956

This Thomas died 19 June 1924, probate to his widow Lily. So unless sarah died and Thomas remarried a Lily, I'm inclined to think it's the Thomas who married Lily Shearman in 1899

I have also discounted him as he had a son Harold who appears to have been born 1900

It seems Thomas and Sarah Douthwaite had 2 daughters:
Isobel Douthwaite b. 1908 in Nantwich
and
Dorothy F.S. Douthwaite b. 1912 in Nantwich

Isobel was baptised at same church parents married in Crewe on 14 Oct 1908. Abode is 31 Hightown, Crewe. He is a draper - same as 1901. Can't see a marriage for her. there is a death of an Isobel Douthwaite 1995, Pwlleli and Portmadoc, age is about right so perhaps she died a spinster

Dorothy married Albert F Williams in 1942, Nantwich district. Can't find a death but if it was registered without one or both middle names could be very difficult.

Added
There are several trees on ancestry which include Dorothy,

This same Dorothy F. S. Williams (nee Douthwaite)??
Amazing! 

To finish, it would be nice to know the names of sons and daughters of Richard Scambler Douthwaite and his wife Mahala Cape. The dates would be 1905 to 1916. (they got married at Darlington in 1904, and Richard Scambler died in 1916, aged 40).

Try Freebmd - Births - Surname Douthwaite mothers maiden name Cape after 1911. 
The 1911 census which we cannot do look ups for will give any children before that time 

[chr1st1an]

I've found 6 children born in Darlington between 1904-1916:

John George Douthwaite b. JUN 1904, 10a 33;
Ralph William Dowthwaite b. SEP 1904, 10a 3;
Joseph Henry Douthwaite b. SEP 1905, 10a 27;
Reginald Douthwaite b. MAR 1907, 10a 29;
Agnes M. Douthwaite b. DEC 1910, 10a 9;
Robert W. Douthwaite b. DEC 1910, 10a 36.

...No child has mother's surname Cape after 1911.

Which of these were sons/daughter of Thomas and Mahala?

[rosie99]

The 1911 would show children to this couple - we are not allowed to look it up for you 

Have you tried looking for baptisms for them anywhere
