• Notes

  There is no supportive evidence for William to be a member of a Lancashire Family per the trees published on Ancestry.com. A search of the transcribed Garstang Resgisters confirmed the baptism of a William Stafford in 1777. However, further searches revealed a William Stafford's burial in 1835. He was from Wimmerleigh and aged 59. A William Stafford married Agnes Procter in 1809 suggesting he was resident in the area. The death year and age is consistent with William bapt 1777. We can therefore say with some confidence that William b1777 in Duffield is NOT the son of John Stafford (weaver) of Wimmerleigh. The details of this Lancashire family have been deleted.
