This is actually the First XI of the Army Intelligence Corps. Legendary team that won the English AND French league + 2 Carabo Cups... in 1 season.

Unfortunately for them, their success was classified and the team became the stuff of legend.

How did Margaret get to conceive Agnes if she had been admitted to an asylum 2 - 3 years earlier?

I think that is the real question. I really need to pinpoint him. Maybe he was another patient? Or maybe working close by? I'm in the process of trawling the records of the asylum - nothing pointing to any births there yet. But they are vast...

Agnes Borthwick is recorded as being illegitimate and born at Dalgonar, Penpont.

Thank you! Where is this record. Does it mean William registered the birth without the mother?

I'm confident this is her family, and think I may have found a 'Black' connection. Thanks for the second opinion.

Some sort of 'caretaker' working on behalf of a land owner. Collecting rents, ground rates... a general middle man between the land Lord and his tennants.

Same shaped mouth and nose. I'd be confident to say they are one and the same were it me.
