I noticed on the 1901 census William is living at 68 Rushey Green with servant Henry Haldo and visitor George Peacock.
Letitia is living at 66 Rushey Green with children Letitia, William and Victoria.
There is a double line between the 2 households.

Perhaps 68 is the "Beer House".

I know my GG Grandparents had problems with their Pub and had to block some doors to make the two parts separate.

William's first marriage:

Thanks every one, got a lot of this already, except about the son William when he died in the army only knew he died in Belgium. Addresses and occupations are good but i still dont know who his parents where or if he had any siblings, also the date he died, looks like before 1917 when the son died. Does anyone know any of this. Julie

YOu posted in your 1st post >> I have a lot of the Gladwin family but nothing on the Vernons, can anyone help please.

Then in your last one you say..>>>>Thanks every one, got a lot of this already <<<<

Bit unfair that

As he can't be found with parents o the census, the only way to try to find his father is to buy the marriage cert.

He was still alive in 1911, born 1861 and living in Islington.

You could search Free BMD for his death.
