Note on Husband: WILLIAM NELSON

Mentioned in Father's will.

Note on Wife: ALICE BOWSER

This is the Alice I believe to be William's Wife and Luke's Mother.

Previously it had been an Alice Porritt, who was married to a William Nelson- Fidler.

on Luke's marriage cerificate to Mary Skelton, it states that William- His Father's occupation as a Miller.

 

Alice Nelson wife of William Nelson - Fidler is recorded in the Whitby Parish Records as being buried in 1782, Luke was born in 1788 to William and Alice Nelson.

 

( so who is the other William and Alice Nelson ?)
