Hi
Your opening post on this thread gives the impression that you are researching a particular family of whom you have prior knowledge and are just looking for the whereabouts of one son after 1901.
The reality is that William Brett is an unknown quantity - a name on a birth cert without any marriage or any details of birthplace/birthyear.
You are posting requests for William Brett lookups on various boards which can result in duplicated efforts as people will inevitably ask you the same questions that I have asked and then somebody will suss that there have been previous posts and start posting the links (like Agadowhey did on your last post)
I am not sure that these 2 family bretts are linked
Quite possibly not and being totally honest - do you really know enough about William Brett to make any link to any other Brett family?
Thanks for that, I have been trying to research a William Brett for sometime, he is my husbands grandfather and all we know for definate is that he was in Wrexham when my husbands father was born in 1915 and because we can't find a marriage between him an an Ethel Beddowes we are unable to trace his line.
Having looked on the 1911 census on sat pm I can up with another William Brett who was a coal mine hewer which is the correct occupation who was lodging in Durham and a widower.
I have looked at william Bretts from Nottingham (this is where my husband grew up) and also Birstall West Yorks but haven't got very far.
I have a death certificate for a William Brett from Farnworth, my husband thought he died in the wythenshaw area around the 1958 so I was trying to work backwards, thinking that if the William Brett (1911 census) may have had children before he married or lived with Ethel Beddowes.
I appreciate how frustrating it can be to try and find somebody with virtually no info other than a name but sometimes FH defeats us all and we have to put things on the back burner and hope that some more info may come to light at a later date
