Private User asked for my advice on sorting out the two sets of parents on MARY ANN Sidaway -- both fathers are named William but they have different birth years (1877 vs. 1868) and different wives.
The 1901 census (linked as a source on Mary) lists brothers William and Samuel living in the same household. Mary Ann (age 4, consistent with birth year 1897) is listed as the daughter of William (age 33). They show up again in the 1911 census with consistent ages so her father William should be born around 1868. I can find no other records to help differentiate between the two William fathers, so all else being equal I would suggest William Sidaway (1868).
Both Williams are listed as being married to Letitia Rock but this cannot be correct: the 1901 census is very clear that Lettitia rock (double-t) is the mother-in-law to Samuel and widowed at age 67. LETITIA Rock should be moved to be the mother of Mary Rock
That same census does list William's wife as Letitia (single t) age 32, so I would propose creating a new profile for her.
I'd appreciate any input from others interested in this family, or who have time to do more digging around. Thanks!
Mike
