Note on Husband: WILLIAM NELSON
Mentioned in Father's will.
Note on Wife: ALICE BOWSER
This is the Alice I believe to be William's Wife and Luke's Mother.
Previously it had been an Alice Porritt, who was married to a William Nelson- Fidler.
on Luke's marriage cerificate to Mary Skelton, it states that William- His Father's occupation as a Miller.
Alice Nelson wife of William Nelson - Fidler is recorded in the Whitby Parish Records as being buried in 1782, Luke was born in 1788 to William and Alice Nelson.
( so who is the other William and Alice Nelson ?)
