  • Notes 
    • SUSANNAH HEADLEY nee POTTS

      Surname can be entered as Headley or Hedley or Hadley.

      Both William and Susannah Headley, were Witnesses at George Duckett & Mary Ann Potts (her sister's) Marriage on 11 November 1860, could not sign their names.

      1881 census gave Susannah as Drusilla. This is presumably an error as Susannah was still alive and with William in 1891.
