Re: Who is Elizabeth Quayles father?

Seems as though John Quayle ch 6 Aug 1818 Michael s/o William Quayle & Catherine Gawne is a good candidate.
Both he and his father were blacksmiths.
He didn't marry until 1 Mar 1860 and had no children that I spotted with his wife.

John's mother, Catherine died in 1854 and left a will
