Birth Date 22 May 1875, Unm, Butler, living in Surrey?

EDIT looks possible given birth reg;
Jul/Aug/Sep qtr 1875
Webster    James Hereford    6a   485   
Webster    William  Hereford 6a   485

An avenue to possibly explore.

This William Webster was the butler to Dame Ethel Locke-King. She died 1956, left a probate record and lots of money. Wonder if she left a will mentioning William?

John

added, This William Webster is still in the household of Ethel Locke King in Chertsey/Esher on 1946/56 electoral registers. In 1939 electoral register he is recorded as Walter Webster

Ethel Locke King dies 1956 and I believe William Webster is then living at 37, Woodbridge Road, Guildford until his death on the 15th June 1959 aged 84 (c1875).

I cannot view this 1921 census but I think it may be William. Whilst he was born Herefordshire, could be a bad writing image. His occupation would be interesting.

William
Wesbster
1875
Hertfordshire, England
Withyham
East Grinstead
Sussex

Believe the image may say born Stoke Edith

1921 for William Wesbster age 46 servant- Oddman born Stoke Edith,
in the house of Robert Henry Benson.

It actually reads William Webster born Stoke Edith Herefordshire.

The Butler in this house is Horace William Maxted. It is quite extensive some 40 plus entries for one household.
