Robert and Ann Mounsey had Isabella 1829,Mary 1827 William 1832 and Cort 1825. all christened in Brigham.

Ann 49
Mary 24
William 19

Cort 24 Lighthouse Keeper/ Ag. Labourer

It is likely that William son of Robert and Ann is the one who married Catherine Watterson in 1854. The question is which Catherine.

By 1881 William, Catherine and family had moved to Preston Quarter ( part of Whitehaven) in Cumberland.
