Thankyou Astra i wondered whos son he was because the 1901 census shows Aaron and Emily and their son Colin and daughter Matilda are both down as being single, thats what threw me but i suppose even in those days girls got up to no good !!! I havent been able to find a death record for Matilda but i was looking in Yorkshire will try Bolton as that seems logical if William ended up in a orphanage their, again many thanks for your time
