BIRTH

4 Jan 1894 according to Royal Navy record. This is probably right.

Whilst this record clearly stated 4 Jan 1893 on the original, it was the Minister probably just writing the previous year in the margin out of habit. As Tom Miller pointed out, we all do this at the beginning of each year!

This record says he was a Cotton Porter. There is also mention of desertion, 42 days "det." and that he was retained for further service with RN...

No mention of whether single or married. There's a suggestion he had a marriage before Lucy bu tthe there is no trace of this.

MARRIAGE

(Her second marriage)

NB Lucy had a son between marriages. Could Samuel have been the father?

CENSUS

Is this them? If yes, then where is Cyril? Also her birth woyuld be wrong here... No, NOT them...

In fact it seems she ran off, taking Cyril with her, in the early 1920s.

CHILDREN

Cyril George P Williams

An Ancestry tree has Clara (b 1925), Nellie (b 1929), Dorothy (b 1931) and Vera (b 1933), all to a mother Goodall before they were married. So perhaps Lucy died in about 1923...

DEATH

is this him? If yes, then it is probable that he had split from Mary Annie, because when she died, in 1950, she seems to have been living under the name of Brenton, same name as her son-in-law. So she took up with his father but never married him?
