NOTES:
1: On their marriage certificate, William's middle name is not recorded and Rachel's father's name is recorded as Daniel instead of Samuel.
2: Samuel Widgery Buckner's birth was registered under the surname Montgomery.
3: Their infant child Arthur's full name is confusing. His birth record gives his name as Arthur Earl but his death record gives his name as Arthur Harold.
4: In some records, and on her headstone inscription, Edith's first name is spelt Edythe, but this is not how it was spelt on her birth certificate.
5: The above information is based on stories related to me by my grandmother, Mary (Newberry) Madden and her sister, Lorraine (Newberry) Greengrass; as well as scanned images of birth and marriage records and various census returns at www.ancestry.co.uk.
