| Notes |
- Perhaps immigrated during Irish Potato Famine (1847). He was excommunicated for marrying a protestant.
- He used to say "No-one ever says, 'Take your time, Caffery. There's no hurry, Caffery'. It's always 'Come on, Caffery. Hurry up, Caffery.'" [Source: Barbara GADD]

| Marriage |
11 Jan 1852 |
St. Stephen's, Bristol [11] |
- Witnesses: James HALL was probably the seafaring Yorkshireman with a Welsh wife living in the parish in 1851, and Eliza GWYER appears to have been a “Sextoness†and so probably a church regular. No known familial link to either William or Matilda.
