William EASTERBROOK

  General Notes:

From marriage of son William.
Can't be the Woolfardisworthy family in 1861 as William Snr is described as bootmaker in 1861 and shoemaker in 1871. Father of William who married Emma Thorne was a Labourer. Wouldn't put labourer if he was a shoemaker! (apparently the Woolfardisworthy William married Ann Hutchings in 1843 - and was a cousin of this William).
