Dear Terry

Since your visit I searched in the Burial Records and I connected with the Sexton and he searched the Churchyard Records and I have pleasure in enclosing what was found. I hope the information will be useful.

I would suggest that the Mary Jane on the headstone cannot be the mother of William. She is probably the sister of William. If so then we know William's father was John.

It was nice to meet you the day you were here.   Do write if you think that I may be of any further help to you.

Will all good wishes to you and Sherrie.

Yours sincerely,

John A. Pickering
