Per a post on Ancestry.co.uk Robert died in the 1970's with no children.

Robert was the son of Robert Hubberstey and Sara Booth Woods. He married Margaret Waterhouse in 1922 and they had a son Peter in 1924 in Blackpool. Peter married Margaret Bolton and their children are living Hubbersteys.

It looks like Robert headed to South Africa. I have found several records of an R. Hubberstey b.1880/1881 taking trips to South Africa (1902, 1923, 1928, 1937). Since there are Hubbersteys in South Africa, this is the likely connection.

Robert appears to have married Ester Hannah Worsely in Preston in 1906. There were 5 children; Robert (b.1907), Gertrude (b.1908), William (b.1909), Frederick Gerard (b.1910) and Hilda (b. 1919). The first 4 children were born in Alston and Hilda was born in Walton-le-dale. Gertrude died in 1911, aged 3.

Again using the unusual names we see Frederick Gerard marrying Annie Bamford in Preston in 1936. There are possible marriages for Robert and William but nothing likely enough to mention.

Thomas was the son of Ignatius and Susannah. There is only one record of a Thomas Hubberstey marrying in this period, however there are several potential Thomas', so its hard to make a fit.

Thomas H. married Sophie Noblett in 1899. There is a record of a son, William, born in 1902. However there is also a record of a death the same year, in the same district, of a William. By the 1911 census Sophie is listed alone, and there is no record of Thomas.

Thomas William was my great-grandfather. He had 5 children with Margaret Berry. They were John Robert, Thomas William, Margaret, Annie and Albert. On the male side of the chart, only John Robert (my line) has surviving members. Thomas William and his wife did not have children and Albert's 2 daughters both died without children. Margaret married but did not have children, while Annie also married and had 2 daughters.

William married Jane Moon in 1901. There were at least 5 children; Margaret (b.1902), Ellen (b. 1905), Mary (b.1907), John (B.1910) and William (b. 1912). We can see the carrying forward of names in the family here as well. Margaret was William's mother's name, William was his father's name, John was his uncle's name, and Mary was his sister's name. Unfortunately the names are too common to try and track another generation without some help.

Luckily there is some more information. From a family tree on ancestry.co.uk we have William (b. 1912) marrying Freda Isabella Little (1915-1985). They had a son James Hubberstey (b. Dec 31, 1935 in Blackburn, d.Sept 22, 2000). James had 2 daughters, both living Hubbersteys.

We have two Williams in a row born in 1900 (and another 2 born in 1902) making it a bit hard to track the next generation, especially as all were born in Preston. However after checking the death records it appears that both Williams born in 1902, died in their first year, thereby leaving us with only 2 surviving Williams from this period. There were however three Williams that married in the expected marriage period to Emily Elizabeth Lynch (1922), Margaret Lawson (1927), and Freda Elizabeth Little (1935) (Note Freda married William (b.1912) son of William (b.1871)..see previous entry) . At this stage it is not possible to figure out who married whom.

This William was the son of William and Ann (Shuttleworth). It appears that they also had an earlier son William (B.1897) that must have died quite young.

I have found a record that indicates that William died in WW1.

Per a post on Ancestry.co.uk, William Edward married Theresa McManus but they did not have


any children.

But we also have a family tree on ancestry.co.uk that shows a William Hubberstey (b.1895 in Preston) marrying a Beatrice Alexandria Pender (b.1896, d.1984) in early 1918 in Scilly and having 2 children, Frederick (b.Aug 17, 1918 in Cornwall) and Rodney (b.1920 Isles of Scilly, Cornwall). Per the tree, Frederick married Gladys Ramsey and had 3 sons (living Hubbersteys) and Rodney married Vera Fox.

It appears possible that William was one of the Williams born in 1900 (see notes above).

From the Wirksworth page, we have: "there is the marriage of a William Philip Cantrel to a Phyllis Hermione Mary Bethel (b.1880) on February 7, 1923. It is not clear if William Philip was the son of Albert, or perhaps his brother Philip. What is interesting about the marriage however is the background of the bride. She was the daughter of William Bethel and the Hon. Mairi Myrtle Willoughby, who in turn was the daughter of Henry Willoughby, 8th Baron, Middleton."
