I have lost a whole family in 1901 can anyone find them please ?

Edward Williams b 1862 Handsworth? Woodhouse, Yorkshire
Averilda Williams b 1863 Handsworth Yorkshire
children
Emma Williams 1883 Handsworth Yorkshire
Elizabeth Williams 1885 Handsworth Yorkshire
Sebin Mills Williams 1887 Handsworth Yorkshire
Stephen Staton Williams 1889 Aukland Durham

In 1891 they were in Durham and Sebin was transcribed as Selin M.
But I can't find them after that, there is a possible marriage in Sheffield of a Stephen S Williams in 1914. But I can't find anything else nor a death for Averilda.

Thanks

A possible death for averilda if she was ill after the birth of the last child and put in an institution?

Deaths Sep 1935 (91%)
Williams Averilda 72 Sheffield 9c 486

this one would have been born in about 1863

Agree with Viv - Edward was listed as married in 1901

K could be and it would explain Averilda in the area near family.

The boys are right on the census and as they lived at Sunny Brow in 1891 it makes it right for the youngest son who was born there.
It definately says Edwin mind and makes him 2 yrs older than I have for Edward which is strange.

Edit that there is only a yr diff which is not strange

Viv I think you have just cracked her death, that is certainly the right age for her would explain a housekeeper for the boys.


Thanks both of you for looking for me as I would have been there for ever with it

Barbara thankyou soo much for that.

it seems that Viv may be right with Averilda in an institution then as Emily the housekeeper is still there.
