Research Notes

I've removed first name Mary as there is no evidence that it was anything other than Ann, and no name given on the marriage record - since found marriage allegation with name (see also newspaper article below). I suspect she was born in Hillmorton, but it's a very common name, and no wills currently found. Whitehouse-2064 08:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
