I'm looking for the birth and death of my Grandmother's brother William Cubitt
Born c 1880 - 1884 Yarmouth according to 1891 - 1911 censuses.
RG12; Piece: 1501; Folio: 57; Page: 29 as Willie Cubitt b 1882 with Aunt Mary Ann Harrison
RG13; Piece: 1817; Folio: 12; Page: 16 as William Cubitt b 1884 with ditto
RG14; Piece: 11088; Schedule Number: 215 b 1882 with his mother Laura Cubitt
I think I have found him on School Admissions 1892 - birth date given as 25 Jun 1880 but mother's name given as Laura Dorrington? living Moat Rd, Yarmouth. ( In 1891 William was with his Aunt Mary Ann Harrison in Moat Road)
As Laura never married I cannot understand why Dorrington? - it's not even a corruption of any name in the family.
I suppose at a push it could be half his mum - Laura and half a corruption of his aunt Harrison??? Some confusion during registration maybe?

William was the informant for his mother's death in 1913 and gave his address as 23 Higher Ormond Street, Chorlton Upon Medlock, Manchester.
I cannot see him on the 1839 register and cannot find a death.
Laura was born in Catfield but moved to Yarmouth. I cannot find William's birth but his sister Annie Bertha Cubitt was born in Norwich 1890.
The other thing is if William was born in 1880 I should have been able to find him on 1881 census but Laura is visiting (friends possibly) in Yarmouth with no child and I cannot see him anywhere.
Just to throw another name into the mix, Laura on all 1861 to 1911 censuses has the surname Cubitt but she was actually Registered and baptised as Laura Cubitt Sharman. The Sharman surname was dropped by 1861 census by her parents but that's another story. I have looked for William using Sharman too - just in case!
