Looking for any information on William Wight, born 1873, Innerwick, Scotland.  In 1907, he was the informant on his brother Alexander Wight's death certificate and gave his residence as Netherley, Hightown, Nr Liverpool.

There is a William Wight, born 1873 in Innerwick, living in Little Crosby, Lancashire in 1911. His wife is Agnes and they have been married 8 years. They have no children. William is a bank inspector.

Also, why does the title say William Ware and not Wight?

Hello Queenie

Thanks for spotting the Ware and not Wight in the tittle, corrected

I have searched on familysearch for the 1911 and marriage but to no avail.

I can't seem to find the census on FamilySearch either...

The marriage of William Wight, bachelor, bank manager, son of Alexander Wight, estate manager, and Agnes Riddell, took place on June 2nd 1902 in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.

Here is the civil registration on FamilySearch:

It is possible his wife Agnes died in 1918 in Ormskirk Registration District. (Not that far from Liverpool).

It looks like he remarried - (1939 Register shows a different wife). William is a retired Bank Officer on that record. This couple are living in Church Stretton, Shropshire.

A William Wight of the correct age died in 1968 in Ludlow Reg Dist Shropshire.

Of course I don't know for sure that this is your William.
