    Notes 
    • The marriage is almost certainly the correct details, hence it is included. William gives Richard's occupation as ?Corn - factor??? but then it implies that he is also father to William's bride, so maybe not too much care has been taken with this. Richard had died 8 years earlier, and maybe the professions were suffiiciently similar. Likewise this is the only place where Hannah is Hannah Latham ROBINSON, but one of the witnesses is her sister Sarah Ann. There does not appear to be any consistent alternative for Hannah, and certainly nothing that implies Latham as a middle name - clearly something important as their son has Latham as a middle name
