Biography

William was born in 1882^[1]. He was the son of Thomas Vogan and Theresa Dunning^[2]. He passed away in 1949^[3].
Married Sarah Edith McLennan 20 Sep 1910. Daughter Gwynneth was born five days later. This pregnancy was probably the reason that the marriage took place in Windsor (a long way from both family homes) - Sarah was probably sent to Windsor to give her baby up for adoption but William found and married her just in time.
