The parents attached here are unlikely to be correct. Middle names were not in use at this time and the names Leefe and Cannar would be virtually unknown in this area. As a couple, they would probably be unique, but there is a marriage of William Leefe Oates and Emily Cannar in Bradford, Yorkshire, in 1947.[4] William Leefe Oates died in 1972, exactly 400 years after the date given on Ancestry trees.[5]
