I think it says, Brierly Farm House 2 St?

Ive just noticed that Joseph & his family are already on bcc. However, family have been added as Weston.
Jo, do we change surname to Wesson as this is what's on Samuel marriage information and also his sons on cwwg ? https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... ver=645446

The name is Wesson.
I will change it.
Thank you mjay

Completed Thanks Jo
