O LondonBelle thanks so much.

Now I don't have a William as a brother to Mary Hannabuss. More to seek I think.

The Mary Hannabuss in the newspaper article is probably a different woman - not an uncommon name in Devon

The parents of the ones I mentioned were Henry and Mary….location Halberton

I do wish they didn't use naming patterns there's loads of Henry's and Mary's

Erika I was a Hannabuss so every Hannabuss is related to me somewhere down the line. I just wish they didn't have so many children.
