1968 has a daughter, Karen Lesley (b.1971).
William’s brother, Percy, married Gertie (née Stringer), again in Wakefield, in 1912. They had Eric (b.1912) and Muriel (b.1920). Eric who married Alice (née Mays), yet again in Wakefield, in 1939, had two children - Peter John (b.1941) and Kenneth Alan (b.1942). Peter John who married Thelma (Burke) in Leeds in 1973 seems to have had no issue, while Kenneth Alan who married Gillian Rosemary Berridge in Wakefield in 1968 has three boys, namely, Simon Kenneth (b.1969), Christian Edward (b.1973) and Thomas Oliver (b.1977). Christian Edward is the only one of the three boys who has married or had issue. Christian married Annabel L. Willis in Durham in 1998 and they have two girls – Lily-Rose Christabel (b.2000) and Scarlet Poppy (b.2002). While Kenneth Alan regards his family as coming from Wakefield, his generation have shifted somewhat from the area. Kenneth Alan and Rosemary now live in the York area.
Samuel, the brother of William, and Harriet (née Green) are shown in the 1861 census as heading a household with their two oldest children, but eventually they have five children in all. Only Tom (1858-1934) and George Henry (1862-1940) have contemporary representatives in the 2011 census.
Tom and his wife Mary Elizabeth (née Green) are the grandparents of Sydney Barton T. (1921-?). I have assumed that Sydney – who would have been 89 years at the time of the 2011 census – had died by then. But, anyway, Sydney who married Shelley (known as Nellie) produced David M. T. (b.1951). There is no evidence that David who is currently living in Clwyd has married or had issue.
George Henry and his wife Eunice (known as Emmie) had five children, but only one, Harry, has relevance to the contemporary use of the name of Soothill. Harry (1886-1962), who married Edith Hannah (née Holmes) in 1915, produced Jack in the following year, 1916. Jack, in turn, married Marion (née Barber) in 1942 in Felixstowe, Suffolk, who produced the first of their two boys, John (b.1943) and
