William Willsmore married Catherine (Kate) Saunders in 1908, probably in
Earls Colne Baptist Church – as there is not
a record of their marriage at St Andrews Church. She was the youngest
daughter of Alfred Saunders, who in 1901 was the landlord of the
Anchor Inn,
Holt Street, Earls Colne. She is recorded as living there in the 1901 census
with her parents and younger brother Oliver. This is the Oliver Saunders who
is the landlord of the Three Horseshoes in 1914. He was born in Great Tey in
1889, so he would have been 24 when he took over the pub in 1914.*
