Research Notes

Disputed Children

The profiles of Henry Standish, Randal de Standish, and Cecily Standish were detached as children of Alexander and Constance as no source is found to connect them. Hugh Standish is listed as a child of the couple by Lewis, but Lewis' profile is unsourced, so that profile has also been detached.
