My Great x3 Half Uncle William (1854 - 1855) was an older half brother of my Great Great Grandfather Walter Boobier (1871 - 1924).
William was born in Tiverton, to William Boobier (about 28), a stone mason, and Emma Boobier (nee Kimmings) (about 27), a laundress.
His birth was registered in Jul/Aug/Sep 1854, but his record of baptism gives his date of birth as 3rd April 1853 or 1855 (it is hard to read).
William was named after his father and older brother who had passed away three years earlier. He was baptised on 28th April 1855, in Tiverton.
William was the third of eight children (six sons and two daughters):
- William Edwin Kimmings 1850 - 1851 (14 months)
- Thomas Philip 1851 - 1907 (55 years old)
- William Donald 1854 - 1855 (about 1 year and half)
- Emma 'Grace' Grace 1855 -
- Edwin John 1858 -
- William Edwin 1861 -
- Lucy Janet/Jeanette 1863 - 1863 (0 - 3 months)
- George Albert 1864 -
Sadly, William passed away - his age given as one year and a half - in April/May, in Tiverton. The age given would imply he was born late 1853 or early 1854.
He was buried on 17th May 1855, in St Peter, Tiverton.
Twelve years later, William's mother Emma passed away, aged about forty. She was buried on 24th January 1867 in Exeter. William's father remarried. William senior (about 41) married Jane Mutter (about 30) in May/June 1868.
William had four younger half brothers:
- Robert 1869 -
- Walter 1871 - 1924 (53 years old)
- Alfred 1873 -
- Frederick 1874 -
