Genesreunited is the only place I've found him after a few moments searching. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:16th May 2009 15:38 |

Unable to 'elp' with the surname at present, but you never know what the members might come up with, like Paul above for example. Thanks for looking on behalf of Bob, Paul. |

I have a suspicion by the mid-1800s, the surname might have altered in it's spelling. |

William and Charlotte married 17 Nov. 1794 in Walsgrave on Sowe as you likely know anyway. Some of their children are listed above too. |
