  • Notes 
    • A William Whitfield, an infant, was buried at Exbury on 29 Jan 1832. If it wasn't George and Elizabeth's son, it's hard to see who it was. However if George & Elizabeth's son died in 1832, who married Mary Ann Munday? The marriage register says that William was aged 23 and from Exbury, an that his father's name was George. Also, on the 1871 census William and Mary Ann are living with William's mother Elizabeth, born 1792, which matches George's wife's age in 1851. So who was the infant who died? Could George and Elizabeth have had a son who died in 1832 and another son of the same name a year or two later who married Mary Ann Munday? This would explain why William always gave an age more consistent with a 1834 birth. There was another William born in 1834, the son of William and Mary, but we know he married Ann Carpenter. Another William born in about 1840 was the son of George and Fanny, but he would be six years younger than the marriage record says when he married Mary Ann Munday in 1857, and it doesn't explain his mother Elizabeth on the 1871 census.
