Individual Note
Birth (Register 1a 451) Death (Register 6a 120).
The death quoted has not yet been proved. It was the only death recorded that corresponded to the age that William would have been, but it was registered just as William Freebody, not William Alfred Freebody. To support this assumption, no other William has been recorded as being born near the 1882 date so there is no obvious death record conflict. No record of a marriage has been found and proved either.
