It is difficult to ascertain the relationship between Henry and William. These records say Henry born 1797 and William 1788 but that is clearly WRONG. In both the marriage application and the 1828 census, it would appear that Henry was born in 1793, but it would also seem that William was actually the elder, being born C1784. Are they brothers?
