Only Richard with no mmn could have been officially 4 in 1911 (census 2 April), but unlikely to have been the death in that case. But age mistakes do happen in census.

	Thank you for that. I found the marriage of Robert and Elizabeth on the Lancashire website and the birth of their sons. I’ve amended Peter’s second name. Unfortunately I don’t have access to census records. Kim

	Peter’s second name is Roland - no ‘W’. Might help with search There are Richard Woan marriages in Preston on freebmd. Have you proved that none of them is relevant?

	1911 census should show her birthplace Where have you looked for info?
Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 340 Send Message	PatW	Report	24 Jan 2020 22:30
	I wonder if someone could kindly help with the following. Richard Woan born 1908 in Preston Lancashire and his brother Peter Roland Woan born 1912 also in Preston were the sons of Robert Woan born 1890 and died 1942 and Elizabeth Heaton born 1890c (don’t know where). They married in 1908 in Preston. Can’t find a marriage or death for the sons and can’t find a death for Elizabeth. Wondered if she married again after Robert died. Thank you
