Can't see them on 1871 - I've been searching for Susan (1867 +/- 1 year) and trawling through the list but nothing obvious ...

Jill you have already found him in 1861.

His child's birth cert will confirm his wife's surname and their marraige will confrm his father's name and occupation

I cannot find a registration for William anywhere. I have thought of ordering his bmerriage certificate, but nothing can be found.
and yes thats how I think the fernleys come into things. Mary has that she was born in the same date/area. Although I cannot be 100%
