Hi everyone and thanks for all your help, but Im sorry to say that Im no further forward than I was last time I was here.

Right this is what I have so far, Im still trying to find out if William Cobley born 1835 in Leicester, had any brothers and sisters.

He married Emma (Northampton)
Had 3 children
Ernest age 11(Barnet)
Helena age 10 (Blackfriars)
Gertrude age 7 (Walworth)

From 1881 census he ran a pub called the ship York Tavern in Rotherhithe London.

William in now married to Sarah age 40 and in 1891 they live in a pub called The Commercial in Hern Hill London.
Ernest 21 Pub Manager/son
Helena 20 Mantle Saleswoman ?
Gertrude 17 Millinery Dress

What do I do next?
Has William got any family, Mum, Dad, Brothers and Sisters?
Were did he die?

Thanks for all your help
PS Why is this family tree stuff so hard to do?
