Webster family

[mwwebsdor17]

William Webster (c1814) and his wife Rachel (1825) along with three of  their children, Ann Elizabeth (1852), Theophilus N. (1855) and John William (1857) appeared on the 1861 census living in  Seamer Lane, Scarborough and although I have tried numerous sites I have been unable to trace them after that. Another son George Wood (c1850), from whom I descended  remained and went into lodgings. Does anybody know what happened to this Webster family?

Why does George Wood have a different surname?  Or was Wood a middle name?

Is he not with the family in 1861.

[Milliepede]

Possible remarriage for Rachel Webster in 1868 to George Scales - death for William Webster 1867 age 54 (possible)

Ann Elizabeth (1852), date amended in the op

Rachel could not be her mother so was William previously married?

[Milliepede]

Ann E is 8 in 1861 born c1853.

Marriage to James Sissons 1873 - Annie E Sissons has the right birth year and birth place in 1891.
