(NOTE: The last marriage entry of Wison Sisley was not as well written , there were cross out and the quality of the handwriting was not near as good but, I beleive it is Margaret Ellis Sisley's handwriting , she was 58 years old and it may have been the period when her eyesight was fading before she went totally blind, or she could have had someone else write it in?
There is no entry for my GG grandfather Amberson Smith Sisley's marriage.)
