Firstly Thanks for adding to bcc
Looking at this again and several bits of paper trying to work it out,
I'm wondering if i dismissed this too soon
Could this William who married Edith be this Williams son

It's a different Wm Thornton so cant connect up cos the one who marries Phebe and then Annie has father John not James

Mally do I need to split off the Alice thornton?

who does she belong to?

then we can add info
