The information that alviegal found on someone's tree can't be right. If William was born 1854 his parents can't have been born 1764 and 1768.

So that would be this marriage. Elizabeth is a widow.

As you have 'marked as answered' people will assume you need no further help

You still haven't said why you think William's parents were the people you name.

As I said before, there is no evidence to support this.
