So I've been playing around for a few weeks and have managed to find some of my family history, but this is where I am stuck.

I have found on the 1901 census that William Charles Wotton (born 1854) was living with his wife and his 6 children in Dartmouth.
The kids are:

Herbert H Wotton 1888
Sidney E Wotton 1886
James H Wotton 1884
Bessie Wotton 1882
William Charles Wotton 1870
George Henry Wotton 1878

But I can;t find what happened to them after! I've checked the 1911 census and have found that Sidney is still living at home with Mum and Dad and Herbert is living as a lodger. But the others have vanished.

Plus I have tried to go backwards but cannot find any records of William Charles Wotton (the dad) on any previous census.

Help :(
