As I read it, he says he leaves it ... at ... name - then gives the name of Miss E ....

Libby is an abbreviation for Elizabeth.

The will is left to Ellen Spinsby (his mum) in support of his child. This is confirmed in the Soldier's Effects database. I read the will as he inserted his child's name after he wrote the will to clarify who he meant as his child - that is why it is squished into the will.

However, thank you,  Libby is an interesting idea! I never thought of that.

Lilly was also used as a shortened form of Elizabeth. I had an aunt born 1909, recorded officially as Elizabeth, but always referred to as 'Lil'  or 'Lilly' with one or two Ls. See the link above.

Lilly can also be a short form of Lillian or Lilith.

I also saw it as Libby and E probably for Elizabeth before I read the thread.

I don't think the date of birth is known for this child, William himself was born 1885 so I suppose she could have been born after 1903 which would make him 18

How about this?
Lillian Spinsby
married
Charles W E Brown
Wandsworth
Sept qtr 1929

Perhaps you could check this on electoral registers and 1939

Louisa Maud

PS,
This couple appear to be in Wandsworth till about 1961 ish
2 children born Wandsworth Brown nee Spinsby
Derrick C W 1931
Beryl A 1939

This is supposition on my part and I could be barking up the wrong tree completely, I am throwing in the towel now ???
