My William ( 1812 - 1876 )has children John William, Henry, Richard, Eliza, Amelia , William, Elizabeth and Emma but no Mary A. The coincidence is that my mother was Mary Ann Doe nee Turner. But here it seems that the possible connection ends ! Many thanks for your reply. One more possibilty, do you have any links back to William Doe, born c.1775, Rickinghall Inferior, Suffolk ?
