Research Notes

Browning-5288 19:24, 23 February 2022 (UTC) William has been detached from parents Sir Thomas Cornwall and Katherine Harley as he is not a child of theirs, please do not re-attach.

• Based on the Data Doctor error report, this profile was reviewed. The reviewer does not have access to some of the sources that can be used. However, it is likely that the date of death is incorrect. William Cornwell-113 in WikiTree has the same date of death, perhaps a coincidence? More research needed.
• A FindAGrave profile exists for his father, which does not show a son, William: Find A Grave: Memorial #131646563 and which cites Cornwall, Edward Everett. William Cornwall and His Descendants: A Genealogical History of the Family; further, the pair Thomas Cornwall and Katherine Horley were said to have married about 1558, which predates William's birth.
• At least one site about his putative parents shows a son William, but he was born in 1577.
