    Notes 
    • At their marriage, William is noted as living in Friston, Sussex, Frances in Lymington. How did they meet? It seems that William was a coastguard at Lymington and on 10/10/1833 he was relocated to Crowlink in Sussex.

      It is not clear why they waited till Mary Jane was 3ish before baptising her, when her sister Jane was likely less than 1. Was William away or was it on religious grounds?
