RESEARCH NOTES
- one researcher has William dying young 10 Jul 1848 (or 7 Oct 1848, or Q3 1848?) in Somerset, yet lists him having 8 children (5 after his death)! -
William Henry (1844-1915), Mary Ann (1846- ), George (1846- ), Robert (1851- ), Henry (1853-1855), Ellen (1854- ), Selina (1857- ), Emma J (1859- ). The last 3 children supposedly born in Brixham, Devon.
If William really died in 1848, who was it in the 1851 and 1861 census and who was the father of "his" last 5 children?
Are all the children assigned to the right family? There is an Emma J Cornish, born 1859 listed in 1861 and 1871 census in Kilkhampton, daughter of Williamd and Grace.
- 1871 - are birth locations wrong for the parents?
