I think that's a great idea.   Merlin found it for you.   Do let us all know ALL the info on that cert so we can see IF we can help you further. 

Cheers,  JM

Do you have Ann's death certificate?

It would show her marital status [married or widow] when she died.

Very little information on the certificate at all I'm afraid, other than that Mr Webster died of apoplexy, from which he had suffered for 9 months prior to his demise.
No parents listed, nor spouse, children or anyone else apart from the certifying doctor, a Hugh Boyd MD.
This William Webster was an engine driver, late of Short Street Bendigo.
I may have to wrap up my research into William Webster at this point, I seem to have wandered up a dry gully, but thanks for all the help.

Does the date match to the newspaper cutting? 

What does the document state where he was born, and HOW LONG in the colony?

What does the document have recorded for his marital status?

While the document does not seem to have a great deal of information, it may help if you were to type up the info that it does give.   Sometimes the small details can be helpful.

The document doesn't state any more than the information I posted.
It gives no information about where he was born or his marital status, it lists his parents as unknown.
The only identifying information is his name, age (71), occupation and street of residence.
It really is just an entry in a ledger book, very sad actually.

Hi Glenn,
The William Webster I'm interested in was born in Lancashire in 1843, married Ann Glasgow in Bendigo in 1866 and possibly died in Bendigo in 1913, I'm assuming that this could be your father's grandfather.
The only problem could be that according to what I've been able to find out so far he and Ann Glasgow had three children, Isabella, Agnes and Thomas James, so no child named William as far as I'm aware.

From the Bendigo cemetery records:

WEBSTER, WILLIAM
    Date of Death: not available
    Date of Burial: 12/06/1912
    Interment Number: 21583
    Cemetery: BENDIGO
    Section: MON M6
    Grave Number: 12881

There seems to be three possibilities for your great grandfather.
Hope this helps.
