William and his family were renowned for their sporting feats at all local contests

William married Sophia Jane McCulloch on 21 Jun 1874 in Saint Mary Magdelen, Bermondsey, Surrey, England. Sophia (daughter of John McCulloch and Mary Ann Lines) was born on 27 Aug 1853 in The Village, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, England; was christened on 2 Jan 1854 in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, England; died on 6 Mar 1915 in Luton, Bedfordshire, England.

Notes:

Married:
CISSIE THRALE: From somewhere - I don't know the source - I had a Cissie Thrale (presumably diminutive for Cecilia) as a daughter of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch, and that Cissie married G Squire and had 4 kids. Today I discovered reliable documentary evidence that Harriet Kate Sophia Thrale married George Squires. I have therefore transferred George and his kids to Harriet Kate Sophia. Clearly Cissie is not a diminutive of Harriet, Kate or Sophia. The question is whether Cissie exists. have found no record of her anywhere else. therefore I have deleted her. However I will leave a note here, just in case.

JACK THRALE: From somewhere - I don't know the source - I also had a Jack Thrale as a son of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch, and that Jack married married Rose White. Jack is a diminutive for John. I already have a John Thrale and I have documentary proof of his existence. John Thrale married Rosetta Wright, incredibly similar to Rose White. Therefore I have concluded that infact the untraceable Jack Thrale and Rose White are infact John Thrale and Rosetta Wright. However, just in case I am wrong, I have left this note here.
