The people are drawn because the tree carries them, and struck through because nothing attaches them to this family. Both grafts, in full →

HE IS IN THE PRINTED MADELEY REGISTER, AND DESCRIBED AS THIS ARCHIVE DESCRIBES HIM · a public search snippet of the Staffordshire Parish Register Society's Madeley volume reads “13 MARGARET D. OF WILLIAM SNEYD, WEAVER . 26 John Bourne 1 Margaret d. of William Sneyd 6 Thomas s. of…”, and another “bapt. July 19 THOMAS S. OF WILLIAM SNEYD OF GT. MADELEY” · THE WORD ‘WEAVER’ IS THE MATCH: this archive already had Samuel Sneyd baptised at Madeley All Saints on 4 June 1781, father WILLIAM SNEYD, WEAVER · CAUTION, AND IT IS NOT A SMALL ONE: the snippets carry NO YEARS, so a Margaret and a Thomas cannot yet be placed as Samuel's sisters and brother, only as children of a William Sneyd, weaver, in the same parish · the volume itself returns 401 without a borrow
