Biography

William was born between 1838 and 1840 - census ages and death records are often inaccurate for 19th century birth years. He was the son of William Morden and Nancy Parliament. He passed away in 1941.

In 1851, William is listed with parents, William, age 44, and Nancy, age 40, as well as all the correct siblings in the correct birth sequence for this family. ^[1]
