Notes
General:
230819:

Until today I had Susannah (tentatively named Sooley), the mother of my great grandmother, Jane Chislett, linked to a brother named William but with no known father or mother. Today following the discovery of a DNA match on MyHeritage to a person named George Coish whose 2nd great grandfather was George Sooley, son of Edward and Julia Sooley, I have decided to tentatively make Susannah and William children of this family as well though there is no documentary proof that they are. This makes sense from the DNA relationship which would have me and George Coish as 3rd to 4th cousins. But it still needs better proof than that. 8081
