| Most of the following was first uploaded to Tmp15 on 09.02.20. It was moved here following the discovery that BLG1850 provided some additional information on the family. Note that what we show below contradicts BLG1850 which suggests that the William who married Margaret Lauder was son of his father by Frances Boothby. BP1934 reports that Frances was 3rd wife of the earlier William, something not mentioned by BLG1886, and does not identify Robert as Martha Disney's cousin. We presume to show as follow. | |||||||||||||||
