Background

William was the second son of Hatcliffe-born farmer, Twistleton Henry Haxby and his wife Sarah, who came from Bilsby. At the time of the 1891 census, the Haxby family lived in the Farm House at West Ravendale. In addition to one-year-old William, the family consisted of: Samuel, aged two, two servants, one farm boy and mother-in-law, Mary Kemp (aged 60).

By the time of the next census, the family (still in the Farm House) consisted of: Alic Haxby (sic), aged seven, Enid Mary (aged three), John Kemp Haxby (three) and Evelyne Dorothy (two years old). As before, the family had servants. However, the two older boys, Samuel and William, who would have been aged 12 and 11 respectively by then, did not appear on the census. The likelihood was that they have been sent away to school.

Sarah died at the age of 39 in 1902.

Fours years after the death of his wife, Twistleton Haxby married Marian Welch in Holbeach. It appears that there were children from this second marriage.
