Here's Willoughby's marr:

Marriages Jun 1918 (>99%)
Finney Willoughby Laidler Gateshead 10a 1498
Laidler Elizabeth E Finney Gateshead 10a 1498


But there's another Gateshead marr:

Marriages Dec 1917 (>99%)
Finney Charles M Rhodes Gateshead 10a 1550
Rhodes Elizabeth Finney Gateshead 10a 1550

Births Jun 1918 (>99%)
Finney Milton K Rhodes Gateshead 10a 1743
[The local index for Gateshead doesn't cover the above years yet]


Certainly looks like Willoughby's bro, and the names are uncommon
enough that I've no doubt they're the Wigan pair.


This looks like their sister:
