Research Notes

This profile was originally created with William born 1847, the son of Catherine Williams (1825-1897) and Matthew Searle (1826-1899), but that's just not right. There is no William Searle, mothers maiden name Williams born around 1847, and his mother is Mary in the 1871 census. He's also 16 years older than that record required.
