Notes - It is not clear what happens after this.
There is no evidence that he had married, indeed he signed up to the RGA in August 1914 (giving his mother and brother as next of kin). Occupation given as Hawker. He was found guilty of lying to the recruiting officer (age is wrong, though no reason given). But I can find no suitable 1911 Census, or indeed anything convincing after his discharge in 1915. There is a William J Webb married to Emily who is a Traveller in Leather and Grindery in the 1921 Census, and is there in 1939. But the birth year of 1885 seems somewhat adrift of the ages given in 1891 and 1901.
