Yes that was me too. I have been told this new information from a member of the family.
He seems to think they were well off farmers who had been on the same farm for years .
He was called William Frederick Handley on the birth cert.
I have been told this was made up.

"I have been told this was made up."

Your co-tree-owners?
The original subject(s)
Someone in between?
