I hadn't thought about wikitree (it just comes up with some incorrect or at least dubious links for own tree).  It might give a link to William though.  There are some trees on Ancestry but he or his children are the last people on the branch. 
Thanks for the suggestion.

I am just wanting a bit of advice. 
I was asked to research the family who built a house which is now a museum. We hoped we could find out more about the couple who had emigrated from Scotland to Australia and possibly find some living relatives - they had no children but lots of siblings. Along the way I found a cousin who fought in Boer War and World War 1 and was awarded medals for bravery.  I tracked his grave to the local cemetery but there is no marker of any sort.
I have become a bit attached to William. He started a grocer's shop and gave credit to striking workers to feed their families, and went bankrupt as a result.  Due to disability from war wounds he lost his job at a time when there was not much financial help for he and his family.
I would like to try to get a stone/marked of some sort put on his grave.  There are grants available towards such markers but I feel I should first try to contact family members.  I am not sure how best to do this.  I know the problems with posting trees online.  I have my own tree online and get I hints that are dubious and suggested links to other trees that are to me a bit shaky.
What are the ethics of putting a tree of people not related to me online?  Is it not the correct thing to post a tree for another family??
Any comments??

Hi
I am trying to get a little bit of background information about a relative William Woodley.  He was born in Hampshire in 1849 and became a groom and also a whipper-in.  From census records and the birth/baptism records for his children he moved around quite a bit.
In 1871 census, few years before he married he is shown as living in Carvedras, Kenwyn and as the Whipper-in for B. R. Hunt (his neighbour is a the huntsman). He seems to have been living a few doors away from the Vicar of St George's.
I was trying to find out what the initials "B. R.' would mean. From my research all I can find out about Carvedras is that there was a tin smelter there.
He was only in the Truro area for a short time as in 1874 he marries Caroline Jane Merrifield in London.  Caroline is from Plymouth.
If anyone has any information about Carvedras and Kenwyn and what B. R. Hunt might I appreciate the help

Hi
I understand about the changing of beginning of the year from March to January 1st and using notations such as 14 Mar1730/31 to indicate that at the time a record was written it would have been the last few months of 1730 but according to current ideas we call would call it 1731.
But....
I have found an ancestor in a tree I am researching and Find My Past gives his baptism date as 19 Feb 1727 as this a transcription and I haven't yet found an image from the parish register I am not sure whether this date is old style or new style.
Today on peerage.com I found this gentleman and his date of birth is given as 17 Feb 1729.  I am pretty certain it the same person as other family members and dates match.  Also family stories suggest they were descended from Robert II of Scotland and this man is from that line.
He is Rev George Lyon born in Blairgowrie, Perthshire.
Any suggestions please

Thanks for your reply
I would always keep the original for the reasons you mentioned.  One or two images are so unclear that it is difficult to transcribe so I was hoping to make the transcribing a bit easier.  Some images seem to be badly taken - if that is the correct way to express it.  I might try looking on another website and see if there is a better image.
