• Notes

  Likely marriage from Pallot's marriage index: Wanless, John Spouse: Good, Mary Marriage Date: 1789 Parish:ST. GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE Residence: of St Giles Cripplegate -- this seems very likely, as all John's children were christened at St Giles Cripplegate starting in 1790. Possible relatives: Wanless, Eliz Spouse: Dewick, Edw Marriage Date:1807 Parish:HOLBORN ST ANDREW Note there is a Wm & Elizabeth Wanless who had kids in St Giles Cripplegate 1780-1784 - might he be a brother to John? Possible mother - this woman was buried in St Giles Cripplegate: Ann WANLESS, a woman, cause of death: Aged, buried 7th March 1798 Seems like the name Joshua must belong originally to John's or Mary's father - it must have some meaning since they used it for their first son. No Joshua Wanlesses early enough to John's dad in the IGI. No Joshua Goods of the right timeframe to be Mary's dad, although there is one who could be her brother.
