• Notes

  His baptismal date's last digit was unreadable and occured on Aug. 24, 165? He and his wife Elizabeth lost 3 children in period of 6 months before she apparently died too. William remarried. I believe he is the William who was burie5 Jun 1678 in Drayton, England because he stopped having children listed in the records after 1678. His wife would have been pregnant with their last child when he died. Not only is this person's name odd, but he or she was baptised within 3 months of another sibling. Both were baptised in Drayton and their mother was listed as Justin. Perhaps they were twins and one simply wasn't strong enough to make ihe parish church for christening.
