Hi Margaret

The William, son of Robert and Priscilla is mine but now I'm unsure.
I can follow him through the Census returns in England, so there must be two of them

I need to do some work to divide them

Thanks for your input

A tree on Ancestry says he was born 1820 England, son of Robert Antell & Priscilla Lacy Antell. It says he emigrated to Canada 1843, lived Bonne Bay, Newfoundland in 1861, 71 and 81, Bonne Esperance, Chicoutimi & Saguenay, Quebec in 1901. It says he married Amelia Chalker who was born 1837, Quebec and they had 6 children.

Hi Glitter Baby

I have him as aged 20 in Lydlinch. Dorset on the 1841, so it must be him that you have found.
A link on the Internet has him married and living Newfoundland 1881, so that can't be right.

I'll keep checking him in England

Thanks
