Christine

i wonder if she is margaret's daughter and margaret is the daughterinlaw of isabella

Confusing isn't it as there are more children in 1861 and they are down as children of Margaret so if this is the correct family the father William was possibly "invented" for the marriage.

Christine

i have absolutely no idea. its so confusing. do you have jane's birth cert Nancy?

Hmm.....i wonder
