    Notes 
    • Something feels wrong here. It's very, very unlikely that someone from Little Snoring could have married someone from Hassingham/Freethorpe/Southwood area. They are 40+ miles away from each other. The strange thing is that in 1851 William reports himself from Hassingham and then goes on to deny it in subsequent years. We're confused! Can anyone help?
      Could be he was adopted/brought up by an uncle and only told later in life? Certainly was a baptism in Little Snoring at the right time

      So, I have combined the records for the two different fathers, but under caution.
