I keep coming back to this for some reason.

1911 Lancashire (Private in the Army)
William Benjamin Dewer age 18 born Islington.
I thought the writer of the census misheard for Cluer.
On further inspection it could be Devier.

William Benjamin Devier married 1920 in Islington to Eliza Maud Mowbray.

William Benjamin Devier born 26/9/1893 (same as your William Benjamin) died 1979 in Essex.

No where can I find birth/ baptism/ 1901 census for a William Benjamin Devier in or around Islington!!

You are correct about Caroline Amelia Brett but they never actually married and I also know about the Poulton family. It is William Benjamin that I cant find after age 8. Thanks for everyone trying Would have thought his death would be there somewhere Regards Pam

Stepson on 1911 is 'Poulton' and this marriage would fit with Caroline Amelia Brett being married to a 'Poulton':

It is suggested on an Ancestry tree that Charles Snr. remarried to a Caroline Amelia Brett around 1905, though I can't find a marriage.

I believe this would be them on 1911?

Possible for William Snr - the address is wrong - on the image it is 67 Kingsdown Rd; in the column "Nature of Qualification" it has Dwelling House (Successive) and in the column "Description of Qualifying Property" it has, bracketed together 83 Wessex Building, Wedmore St and 67 Kingsdown Rd (Ground Floor)
