Default The Webbs

My half-great-aunt Marion Margaret Ruby Bristow got married on the 14th June 1918 at St Mary Magdalene Church, Brighton, to a Canadian serviceman. The witnesses were Gladys Webb, Stanley Webb, and Alice Webb. I have tried to figure out who they were from time to time, and I believe I have finally found them on the 1911 census. I was expecting Stanley to be a bit older than this!
