Andy I am not sure if there are some records missing for Westhampnett on the 71 census, there is only one page and he is not on that! Will keep looking.

Hi Keith i dont think its them as William was illegtimate and his mother was Emma Halsey,he often went under the name Willaim Mountifield Cobby Halsey bit of a mouthful but he wasnt baptised as such. Cheers
