Research Notes

There is no evidence of the marriage of William and Mary in the Spondon register. There is no evidence of death 4 Jan 1777 (as all the ancestry trees state) in Spondon, but there is a burial register for 4 Jan 1779 which belongs to his son. It is unlikely he died in Yorkshire when all the children were born in Spondon so there is no evidence he moved. Based on this I have changed the date of death and burial.
