Hello Anne,
Thank you. It was certainly a roller coasters of "Ups and Downs" and it just goes to show that sometimes Census and Passenger Record Information have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Williams birth year varied from 1883 through to 1891 but thankfully the brothers had contact with each other and that enabled us to get the break through we needed.
Bet thats solved some mysteries in the family and opened up other questions.
I did wonder if the wife Kathryn Greaves listed on Roberts death certificate could have been the step-daughter Katherine - the age was almost identical !!
Wishing you all the very best with the rest of your research, you know where we are if you need further help at any time, lots of willing volunteers at Rootschat.
With Very Best Wishes.
Regards
Sandra
