Mark Report 2 Mar 2018 12:17

I have come to a part of my research whereby the persons are only referred to as

Research area possibly Westmorland uk

William Hunter 1870 marrying A M Hunter. A M Hunter in a tree on ancestry is listed as being born 1864. They have 2 sons - J K Hunter 1907 and W H Hunter 1908.

Could i ask for assistance in finding not the initials but what they stand for, much appreciated.

My first thought it that W.H could be William Henry

Thanks

William and A M state that they have been married for four years and have no children

W W must be the child of John & Bessie, who say they have two children

Can we assume that because the child born 1907 is not William Henry, these are not your relatives?
