If anyone wants to try and work out connections, this previous thread on the Woan family might be useful? https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1374699

For what it's worth, I thnk the 1909 death for Richard Woan is the one born to the Woan/Heaton marriage

The 1911 census shows a child aged 4, which would match the illegitimate birth in 1907

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1909
Surname Forename(s) Age or Date of Birth Year Sub-District Registers At Reference
WOAN Richard 1 1909 North Preston Preston NP/10/52

Same district as death

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1908
Surname Forename(s) Mother's Maiden Name Year Sub-District Registers At Reference
WOAN Richard HEATON 1908 North Preston Preston NP/12/82

The 1907 birth was in WEST Preston

Many thanks ErikaH for all the information. It will take me some time to read through it and digest.
The parents of Margaret Alice Woan who married Isaac Fryer were Robert Woan and Alice Ann nee Green. The Robert Woan born in 1890 was her brother.
They were both my grandfather’s cousins.
Also many thanks to all the other people who have helped.
I am grateful.
