William Way

GEDCOM Note

05/2007: Identified from 1841 census as father of Robert. Cannot find in 1851 census. Free BMD gives death as Beaminster Mar 1855 Vol5a p349. Certificate attached. 06/2007: DoB and christening verified by Kenneth Edwards.
05/2008: Marriage and burial confirmed in Netherbury Parish Records. There are actually 2 William and Sarah Way's in Netherbury at the same time (from 1841 census). Need to be careful to split these families - check in future.

From 1841 census family 1: William Way age 40, Sarah Way age 50, Thomas Way age 20 and Elizabeth Way age 15.
Family 2: William Way age 70, Sarah Way age 55, Robert Way age 20, Eliza Way age 20, George Way age 15 and Job Way age 13.

05/2015: Marriage record image added. Burial record image identified - it shows William was buried exactly one week after his wife Sarah. There is an 1851 census record in Askerswell with a William Way age 82 born in Askerswell (just East of Uploders) andSarah B Way age 64 born in Bridport that could be them.
