Many thanks. Gives me a start. Appreciated.

Have you tried looking for their names in the trees on here?

Yes I have thanks. Reasons for checking these ladies out was because their youngest sister, Ethel, (my Grandmother whom I never met) has a decidedly sparse history -apart from a couple of passenger list entries, and her death details. As the family was really disparate, I am hoping to track down descendants of Fanny and Florence to see if any further family stories exist.

There's a "Montgomery Family Tree" on Ancestry, which has a William Herbert English on it, born 1900, to Florence Adams and William Joseph English.

This is actually William Kenneth, mistranscribed on the 1901 census, and copied from there to the tree.

No spouse or children listed for him on the tree.
I haven't searched the tree to see where the Montgomery's come into it
