Apparently there is a Letitia Harris Powell on the Heighway family tree on Ancestry
Obviously I can't view it as i'm not a member She is also on the 1891 and 1901 censuses and was born in 1890 Can you find out anything from this?

There is also a William Heighway born 1911 on the 1911 census aged 0 I don't know if we can get anthing from this?
Is it possible to see any censuses after 1911 as the other William Heighway (WL) wasnt born until 1913 As he was married in 1940 then if he's the right one then Phyllis Lubeck would have been living with him at that time Just clutching at straws now I think :(

My father was definately Frederick Jonn Floyd so maybe William Albert was not his father?

I got a bit confused about William Albert thinking that you listed his children on the 1911 census when in fact he was only aged 4 and it was his parents and family listed so of course maybe he was my grandfather and as his father and brother were Frederick then its highly likely that the name was passed down to my father.
When I search freebdm the children listed for Floyd and Benson are definately my father and his siblings Was it William Albert Floyd who married (Bertha?) Benson?

I have some new information after looking at a family tree on Ancestry
Antono Lubeck (1845-1916) was in fact married to Hannah Fox (1855-1892) They were married in 1875
Her parents, Catherine Agnew (from IRELAND!)(1819-1871) and John Fox(1814-) were married in 1845
The information came from a descendant of Lucinda Lubeck (Phyllip's sister) She has our family on the tree right down to my mother and father's marriage in 1961
Now I have this information is there any further back we can go?

Also have information about William Heighway (married to my grandmother, Phyllis Lubeck)
I spoke to my cousin on facebook last night (daughter of my mum's sister, Cynthia) We have always known another man as grandad My grandmother must have met him after my grandfather left . Grandad is still alive so she called him (its difficult for me as I live abroad so would cost a fortune!) He said that all he knows is that my real Grandfather was Bill Heighway (William obviously)and that he moved to Australia and remarried.
This suggests that they got divorced at some point Is there any way of checking this?

Also I have been given information about 2 shipping records:

1. Mr W W L Heighway on the vessel Maloja in September 1950 aged 36
address in England 14 Stenhill Road, Liverpool Occupation shown as R.A.F he departed from Brisbane

2. William Walter Leslie Heighway departed from London 1st Feb 1951, on the STRATHNAVER of the P&O line. Lived in Liverpool He was a fitter, calculated year of birth 1914. To Sydney Australia intended to remain in Australia.

Also a death record: William Heighway New South Wales 1967 (the year I was born) Father's name given as William Walter also. Mother unknown

This ties in with Marriage 2012 William W Heighway and Letitia Powell

Then there is an Elizabeth Widow aged 60 on the 1901 census. 3 children One called William Right age to be WWL Heighway's father?
Any further help with this?

I have just looked at that entry and it is spelt Bewson. Its not a transcription error from freebmd but it may be an error on the index.
My mothers birth is recorded on the index as Chaylor and it should be Chaytor.
