I am hoping that someone maybe able to help me please?
I have a census for 1871 regarding Sarah Sharpe aged 20 from Polesworth, Warks.
On the census it gives Father -in-law William Allbrighton M. 79 birthplace Tean, Staffordshire.
Born 1792 Death 1846 Grendon, Warks.
Apart from the above information, i can't find any more about William,can anyone help me please?
