Thanks both, that's a great help.
Any idea where I could find out about any school William may have been teaching in? According to an obituary I found recently '... after a brilliant career at school he took up the teaching of languages as a profession and was proficient in French, German, Greek and Latin and took a remakably keen interest in Anglo Saxon.....'
It went on to say that he gave up teaching at the age of 24 and settled in Bristol where he worked first as a foreign correspondent to a firm of jewellers and then as a cashier/accountant for a firm for 47 years until retiring at the age of 82!
As Margaret couldn't sign her name, it seems a strange match, but they were married for 64 years until Margaret died aged 83. William was nearly 90 when he died in 1926.
