Webster twins
« on: Friday 06 January 23 18:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi anyone help please

I am looking for any evidence of a James Webster and his twin brother William Webster both born in Herefordshire 1876

They appear in 1901 and 1911 but no sign of them after that

James was married in about 1908 to a Susan?? And had a child aged about 2

William was still unmarried abt 1911 and was a servant

They may have gone to USA or Australia  ??

Any information welcome please

Regards Phil

By 1921 census, Susanne (1884), James Charles (1909), Evelyn Mary (1911) are in Newport Pagnell. No sign of James snr, cannot . to see if Susanne is a widow.

Other in the household are

Cecil Webster 1877
Dora C Webster 1880
Florence Webster 1892
Katie Webster 1865

By 1939 children James Charles 1909 & Evelyn Mary 1911 are living in Bath, Somerset, both single. Suspect this is mother's death

Deaths Sep 1934 
Webster    Susan    aged 50    Bath    5c   562    (1921 census indicates dob 1884)

Their sister Emily Hannah Webster never married and died 18 June 1927
her probate was to William Webster, -Butler this has to be her brother.

A possible death of James.

Deaths Jun 1921   
Webster    James    45    St.Albans    3a   

1921 census date 19th June 1921, may have died just prior.

In 1911 family in London, did they move between census?

Re William & James, do you have either of their birth certs with an exact dob?
