William G Webb died on 13th January 1890 aged 69.
His son Arthur of Isledon Road, was the informant.
By 1891 William G Webb had died leaving behind a widow and many young children. Eleanor was the youngest at 4 years of age, therefore born around 1887, with William G Webb dying from no earlier than 1886 but before 1891. William G Webb was still fathering children at the age of 65.
I have found a record of death for William George Webb (Aged 69 - Mar Quarter 1890 – Holborn 1b 619). This is almost certainly the correct record.
