    Notes 
    • Michael Edwin Woosnam only had one child. He was married to Mary Ann Borley (the local midwife..no children to this marriage)...they fostered Bertha and her brother...
      Michael then had an illegitimate son with his foster daughter Bertha when she was 18. That son was Thomas Edward Coombe born 1920 (so named at birth.. see birth certificate) This child later took the name of "William Brandis" possibly because his biological mother...Bertha (nee Coombe) married Glen Brandis.
