However, FreeBMD shows a Thomas SOWERSBY married in the first quarter of 1838 in Pocklington to an Ann Hayes. (GRO ref: Pocklington 23 115) This date relates to the birth of William. The spelling Sowersby also relates to a FreeBMD entry for the birth of Eliza Sowersby in the second quarter of 1840. (GRO ref: Partington 23 64)
