you should have continued with this one, not started a new one

Thanks MarieCeleste, looks as though Lena didn't have time to be baptised, poor thing. Didn't know about her.
I think it was because I thought it was Jessie who married twice, it didn't fit in with William somehow. I know that some things you have to take with a pinch of salt.

Apologies to Choccy.

Andrew, if you read this, I think my source got mixed up, it was William who married twice. I got duff information!
On my way to find William's parents now, Wish me luck and again, thanks to all.
Anne.

This is the burial of William's first wife:

West Yorkshire, England, Deaths and Burials, 1813-1985

Name: Emily Postlethwaite
Birth Year: abt 1870
Parish: Hanging Heaton, St Paul
Burial Date: 12 Mar 1901
Burial Age: 31

Address was Bromley Street.

In the comments is "no ceremony according to the rites of the Church of England".
In the left margin is then number 1023 (don't know if that's a burial plot?)

Haven't found a baptism for Lena who is on the 1891 census but there are these records:

These are from FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl which is a site you need to bookmark, it's one of the main resources for this searching lark and it costs nowt!

Here's Morris' baptism:

West Yorkshire, Non-Conformist Records, 1646-1985

Name: Morris Postlethwaite
Birth Date: 18 Sep 1895
Event Type: Baptism
Father: William Postlethwaite
Mother: Emily Postlethwaite
Baptism Date: 15 Nov 1896
Archive Location: Wakefield
Parish or Chapel: Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
Reel Number: Batley Carr, Dewsbury, Earlsheaton, Gawthorpe, Hanging Heaton, Mirfield Knowle; WC21

Lived Bromley Street, Commonside. (This was the address on the 1891 census posted above). No occupation given for William.

Anne, why do you think that the info that Choccy posted is the wrong William? Whilst it's very useful to have some family information never take it as 100% accurate.

The 1901 census that Andy posted shows William as a widower on the original image.

Here's the baptism of John George:

West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910

Name: John George Postlethwaite
Birth Date: 15 Jul 1892
Parish: Hanging Heaton, St Paul
Baptism Date: 17 Nov 1892
Father's Name: William Postlethwaite - Draper
Mother's name: Emily Postlethwaite

Lived Commonside

To be certain of his mother's maiden name you'd need to order his birth certificate from GRO http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp
(although that 1889 marriage looks pretty good to me)

Looks like William was married twice and John and Morris were children from first marriage.

No children for Jessie before her marriage to William

Thanks Choccy, wrong William.

William had only one wife to my knowledge, his wife was married before or so I
