Peter, could you confirm the twins names as( Lone) and Gladys ?

To Update my thread.
Sorry only got William's dob as c1877. Didn't know about Betsy death but could be feasable. I think they had 2 children Ione & Gladys both c1902 but cannot confirm twins dates only about.
He worked at Rolls Royce for some time.
Don'y have anything at all about cyril
Hope this helps

I was only thinking out loud Catherine. I have viewed the 1911.

Yes!
William son of John (Head of household) and Cyril Grandson. He is noted just under William so presumably he is the son of William but it is not stated in the census that he is actually the son of William?

No Mel, carn't see her in the 1911

Peter - do you know William's date of birth?

The 1901 suggests he worked on the Railways and there are a few records in The Railway Employment Records that may cast some light.

Yes I looked at that!

So what are the names of his children?????

Is Cyril the grandchild on the 1911 William's son?

I can't find her either?
There is this that could fit

Deaths Mar 1907 (>99%)
JAMES Betsy 26 Nottingham 7b 181

but William is not noted as widow in 1911????

Mandy can you find Betsy on the 1911??

I can't find Betsy on the 1911.
