RESEARCH NOTES:
- the chart listing the children of Edmund Compton and Margaret Lawes is open to interpretation. It could be that Alfred William and perhaps Eleanor (no dates given for either of them) where actually their grandchildren, perhaps being the children of their son William (1807) who married Mary Ruth.
- Edmund and Margaret had 4 sons and 4 daughters. One of these sons may be Alfred William (who was born much later than the rest) OR James?
