When and where was he born?

Do you mean you want 1901 & 1911?

Looking at children's births, I was wondering about these?

WILLEY Florence Lilian Bedminster Somerset 1894 Oct-Nov-Dec

WILLEY James Highman Bedminster Somerset 1896 Jul-Aug-Sep

WILLEY Edward Berbanl (reads Berbank) Bristol Gloucestershire 1902 Oct-Nov-Dec


Not finding a Barrow at all or anything that looks like it. :-(

So Highman would be a middle name but seems to be used as a first name
