Research notes

• A Frederick Sparkman, born in 1826 in Wiltshire, England appears in the 1841 census.^[38]
• Note the differences between marriage sources. The names are similar enough to support the identities being the same, although the dates differ.
• Frederick's mother died in 1865, but her age does not agree with other dates.
