Robert,
Followed the link (above) and that is not the painting I saw- which was a landscape in Woolich-maybe that was Rodway seniors -different style (although I am no expert)
Also found a report of an auction 17 Sept 2005 lot 794 was 2 19th century watercolours signed William Rodway barnes-one entitled "Wooded landscape" the other "Castle on headland beside the sea"
It seems the exhibitions 1919 may have been Rodway junior too...
as.....
I think I have found a "possible" Rodway senior's death!!!
In our district too!!

William Rodway Barnes
Death registered Jun qtr 1905
Basford Registration district
Age 65

The age fits in with Rodway snrs age on census

We know he was in Worcester in 1903 for his daughters wedding -maybe he came to live with her or Rodway jnr in this area-or maybe he died on a visit

My friend will scour the R&H to see what can be found-unless Jennie does it first!!!!

Just to complicate things further-it seems Rodway snrs wife died in Worcester-after her husband
Death Reg
Julia Elizabeth M Rodway-Barnes
Mar qtr 1909
Age 63
Worcester district
