I just came across the old notes I talked about when I first made contact with you.
*I sincerely apologise for giving you some wrong information.
I previously advised you that MARY B. McMURRAY married WILLIAM B. SEARLES.
However, the notes tell a different story in that she married PETER SEARLES..
I hope you can make sense of it. I am really confused and ready to give up Genealogy!!!!!
Best wishes,
Rose (White) Rim.
