There has to be a question mark over this William Sunter. If the 1841 Census is correct then William should have been about 17 in 1841. But have a look at the ages of all the residents. They are all given to the nearest 5 years. If this is the case then it is a strong possibility that this William is ours. And if that is the case what is the betting that Thomas and Mary are my great, great, great grandparents?
